Resistance is common to the unusual.

Summary

This quote suggests that when something or someone deviates from the usual or commonly accepted norms, it is likely to face resistance or opposition. Unusual ideas, actions, or individuals often challenge the status quo, which can intimidate and provoke resistance from those who are more comfortable with the familiar. This resistance can stem from fear, a desire to maintain stability, or a lack of understanding. However, it is through embracing the unusual that progress, innovation, and positive change can occur.
