Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

Summary

This quote suggests that human beings tend to tolerate and endure injustice and problems rather than taking action to change established structures and systems. It highlights the tendency for people to accept and adapt to their familiar ways of living, even when those ways may be flawed. This can result in individuals enduring suffering and accepting conditions that could be improved if they were to challenge or eliminate the existing systems.
