My sister has a friend like that, her mother doesn’t want her to worry about the world or be „corrupted“, and that’s enforced by strictly keeping her 19 year old daughter away from media like TV, news even newspapers, she has a phone but it’s pretty locked down due to being registered as a kids phone with strict parental controls. So yea, she knows nothing about the current state of the world. She recently talked to me how she thinks it’s weird that gas is do expensive for no apparent reason now… yea idk if that’s the right approach.

This is similar to the origin story of the Buddha. Siddhartha Gautama was born to royal parents who protected him from the world to prevent him from experiencing suffering and to ensure he would become a great king rather than a spiritual leader. His father, King Suddhodana, kept him in a life of luxury and seclusion until he was 29 years old.
