“There is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy ”

Henry Miller

Simplified Meaning:

If you change yourself to fit into a world that is not healthy or right, you won't find true happiness or peace. It's like trying to belong to a group of people who are always mean and dishonest - even if they accept you, you will always feel uncomfortable because their values are not good. Imagine a person in a job where everyone cheats: if they start cheating too, they won't feel proud or happy with their work. Instead, they should stay true to their honest nature and find a better place where they can be themselves and feel good about it. The message is to not lose your true self trying to fit into something that doesn't make sense or is unhealthy.
