"Quand tu regardes dans un abîme l'abîme regarde aussi en toi"
— Friedrich Nietzsche

Simplified Meaning:
When you spend a lot of time thinking about something dark or troubling, it can start to affect you too. Imagine standing at the edge of a deep, dark hole and looking down; soon, you might begin to feel like the darkness is staring back at you. For example, if you constantly think about sad or scary things, those feelings can start to change the way you see the world. It’s like how a detective who deals with crime every day might start to become more suspicious of everyone. To avoid this, try to focus on positive things and take breaks from the negative. This way, you won’t let the dark thoughts change who you are or how you act.
