It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -J. Krishnamurti
It's akin to walking into a room containing a particular odor, say, of flowers, and then staying there for awhile and not noticing the odor after awhile. As kids, we used to play with this by picking a word, any word, and repeating it over and over again 40 or 50 times until it just started to sound like nonsense, which made us giggle.
Maybe kids were weird in Cincinnati in the '50s. I don't know.
