If you can
Get used to

Another caveat by Gluckman, this one a compact word-shuffle.
Habituation leads to addiction and the potential for manipulation by
threat of withdrawal. The flexibility of an organism, a strength
enabling adaptation to a changing environment, becomes a weakness
when corrupted into rigid dependence upon a single set of
conditions. Like other ironies inherent in human nature, this one is
based upon a trait useful in one context, but not in others.
