There is a famous English phrase about death by a thousand small cuts. That phrase exists because human beings are intuitively sensitive to the danger of leakage — multiple tiny losses adding up to a big problem. Analogies to this situation exist in many areas of life. We know, for example, that a few intense short-duration stresses (as in exercise) can be very good for our health, whereas the ongoing routine of small, daily distresses can progressively wear out our souls and bodies down to the raw nub.
