I wouldn’t recommend this. First of all, you shouldn’t provide personal opinions such as “terrible”. Then, asking what they are going to do forces them to confront the problem which they may not be ready to do yet, or may not want to articu

Ascetics and monks voluntarily secluded themselves to holes in a remote mountain. When put in that perspective, solitary confinement may not be that bad, and even pleasurable for some. What is there to life anyway? It’s all in your mind.
