As a former "troubled child" I learned two things normal communication even in the 90s was difficult for me. One, I learned no one listens. Two, if I have a meltdown I will be restrained. Most troubled children like myself when restrained by professionals who wouldn't listen to me traumatized me enough but being able to not move embraced with a professional gripping my hands. That was beyond traumatizing. I didn't know this was still a common practice until I overheard one of my peers who is a major in Psychology interning at some nonprofit agency that's similar to the 90s verse of Latch Key.

Self-Knowledge and Meditation
Do you know we live in a hypnotic world? We are delusional thinkers and live in a fantasy world of words. However, there is a world beyond words called reality that you see right before your eyes in the present, which is timeless and eternal, and people have no idea how they are related to it. To understand reality, one requires self-knowledge.
