“Sometimes human places create inhuman monsters”
— Stephen King
Simplified Meaning:
When people live in certain areas or environments, these places can sometimes turn them into very cruel or unkind individuals. For instance, if someone grows up in a violent neighborhood where people are always fighting and being mean to each other, it might make that person act the same way. They might learn to solve problems with anger and aggression because that is what they see every day. Another example could be working in a stressful job where everyone is always competing and trying to be the best, even if it means hurting others. This can push someone to become selfish and uncaring. To avoid this, it helps to find supportive communities and kind environments that encourage good behavior and kindness. Recognizing the influence of our surroundings allows us to choose better environments that help us stay positive and treat others well.
