To reflect upon ownself here:
Consider when entering a closed room, and if there's some wierd/stink smell when we enter it, for sure we will notice and comment about it.
If we decide to continue to stay in the room, after a few hours, we will no longer notice about the wierd smell..
But if we go outside of the room for a while to take some fresh air, and went back inside, we
will once again notice about the wierd smell
This is why, each muslims are being encourage to go outside the box, away from the zone which we usually say it as our comfort zone. For when we when back to our site, we'll notice the downside of our place that we've been living for some time now..
This is also an indication of being in a place where people are doing wrong things..
Things which are against our islamic teaching,
against the true way of living..
At first, when we notice that these people who said they have the same faith within them as we did, but their action differs from what they said, we will for sure be uncomfortable about their action.
But as time pass.. when we continous to be living among them, we will no longer feel discomfort about their action.. our heart will no longer notice about the sins that are being commited freely.
and THIS IS DANGEROUS

Dan siapa yang tidak melakukannya, dan dia redha terhadap dosa itu, dan dia pun redha kepadanya, maka dia seperti orang yang melakukannya"

This is why one need to be careful to whom one chose to spend most of our time with.
No doubt one here need to go out to the society to spread the truth, as it is one duty that one promised to Him at least 5 times daily. Since islam doesn't spread by itself, there were spread by the steps of the prophet (saw) and the companions before..
Yet, overall, one need to find the way back to be with those who are truly to Him.
And if one could not find those who fall within this group.. one will be better off by oneself, with Him as companion by one side, each moment of time.
