Simplified meaning
When people get too comfortable with having lots of nice things, they might stop appreciating them. Imagine if someone always eats fancy meals at expensive restaurants. Over time, they might stop enjoying them and even miss the simple joy of eating a homemade sandwich. If you always have the best of everything, it becomes normal, and you forget to be grateful. This can make life less enjoyable because you don't feel the same happiness from special treats or experiences. To avoid this, try to stay thankful for what you have, and remember to enjoy simple pleasures too.
