from a very young age. Children should be in good company with similar minds. You can safely hide him in the smaller world of particular interests. If he were to float in society in search of something, he would be deeply immersed in society with other people who are lost. He will go through many challenges and even stay there, as many have done.
It is all right to visit the society of lost people, but not to stay there. The society of the “lost” is the opposite of the “corridor”. An alternative reality. Every positive thing has a negative side. So this is a negative side of the “corridor”.

So it was one of the tools that helped me ground myself. Home loans created responsibility for me and kept my feet on the ground because I could disconnect from everything in one world and go to another.
