“There are no conditions to which a person cannot grow accustomed, especially if he sees that everyone around him lives in the same way”
— Leo Tolstoy

Simplified Meaning:
People can get used to any situation, no matter how good or bad it is, especially when they see others are living the same way. For example, if someone moves to a very cold country, at first it might be very hard for them. But after seeing everyone else wearing heavy coats and going about their daily lives, they will slowly become used to the cold weather too. This idea can be applied to many parts of life, like adjusting to a new job or living in a small apartment. When we realize others are in the same boat, it becomes easier for us to accept and adapt. So, if you are facing a tough situation, remember that people are very adaptable and you will get used to it over time, just like others have.
