A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.

Familiarity quietly does the work of justification. When something has gone on for a long time without objection, the absence of objection starts to feel like evidence that it is fine. Nobody decided it was right; it simply stopped being questioned, and that silence hardened into a kind of permission.

Pick one arrangement in your life you have never actually examined, at work or at home, and ask whether you would agree to it today if it were being proposed for the first time. Age is not an argument. If the honest answer is no, you now know one thing worth changing.
