WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Do not be fooled by the slow pace; this gradual accumulation will definitely prove lethal.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Cumulative Causality in Traditional Thought
Traditional Chinese philosophy often emphasizes gradual incremental changes leading to profound qualitative shifts (as in 积少成多), warning against ignoring minor evils or hazards before they become fatal.
