Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, what’s most dangerous is something you don’t see or believe is real. Imagine a thief who convinces everyone in a town that there’s no crime. People would feel safe and let their guard down, making it easier for the thief to steal without getting caught. The same idea applies to many situations in life. For instance, someone might have a bad habit, like smoking, but convinces themselves that it’s not harmful. By not believing there's a problem, they continue the habit, which can harm their health in the long run. The key is to stay aware and not ignore possible dangers, even if they seem invisible or harmless at first. Recognizing these hidden risks helps you protect yourself better.
