About this quote

The conditions that surround us constantly can become the hardest ones to notice. The question is a compact invitation to examine assumptions, culture, and habits that feel natural only because they are familiar.

When to use it

• A workplace asks a new employee which routines seem strange because veterans no longer notice them.
• A traveler returns home and recognizes social customs that once appeared universal.
• A person tracks daily phone use to see an environmental influence that had become almost invisible.
