Summary
This quote suggests that individuals can become habituated or desensitized to harmful or toxic situations or substances gradually over time. Just as one can develop a tolerance or immunity to a poison if exposed to it in small doses, this concept can be applied metaphorically to other aspects of life. It emphasizes how humans can adapt or become familiar with potentially detrimental circumstances, behaviors, or influences, without even realizing the harmful effects they can have. The quote serves as a cautionary reminder to be mindful of how we may inadvertently accept and normalize harmful situations.
