Summary

This quote suggests that vices or bad habits encountered within the family or home environment have a stronger and more immediate impact on us compared to vices observed elsewhere. The presence of these vices within our homes is seen as more influential because they are often introduced or endorsed by trusted family members or figures of authority. Consequently, they have a greater ability to infiltrate our thoughts and behavior, leading to a quicker and easier corruption of our moral compass.
