There are also Python holes. Holes that suck you in and don't let you go. People with an obsessive personality type have to be careful not to enter them because when you leave them it might be decades later and you are a husk of what you were.

yea, but in that case the problem isn't entering the hole, but the obsessive personality.

As an obsessive person myself, knowing how to stop, how to put things down and "grasp for air", is something I had to learn to do (meditation helped)
