Despair 16

[im_in_despair]

I'm sure many of you may be experiencing a lot of stress over this transformation. However, I urge you not to worry: You'll soon get used to it!

Indeed, human beings can get used to even the most harrowing situations! However, this isn't as much of a blessing as it may appear on the surface! Many people have gotten away with the most sinister habits, simply because those affected got used to their deeds!

• A stalker goes unpunished, because their victim got used to being stalked!
• Millions of people give huge sums of their monety to the government, because they got used to paying taxes!
• Working conditions plummet to intolerable levels as the workers get used to constantly increasing levels of abuse!

As you can see from these examples, humans' ability to adapt to hostile circumstances has a distinctive dark side! It allows one to get used to inevitable problems, but it also allows solvable problems to go unchecked forever!
