It is easier to take a position in the abstract than when it

Summary

This quote suggests that it is easier for people to form an opinion or stance on a particular issue when they are not personally affected by it. When something directly affects us, it becomes more challenging to maintain the same perspective, as our personal experiences and emotions come into play. In the abstract, we are detached from the situation and can adopt a more objective viewpoint. However, when faced with the reality of a situation impacting us personally, our opinions and positions may shift.
