Simplified Meaning:

When something shocking or bad happens, at first everyone talks about how outrageous it is. However, as time goes by and similar things keep happening, people start to feel less disturbed by it. For example, think about how people might react to news of a corrupt politician. The first time it's revealed, everyone is very upset and angry. But if more and more politicians keep getting caught in scandals, people might start to pay less attention and accept it as normal. This is worrying because it means society starts to overlook serious issues that should be addressed. To avoid this, it's important for people to stay aware and not become numb to bad behavior. This way, we can work towards creating a better and more honest community.
