The story is about a frog who is sitting comfortably inside a saucepan. A scientist wants to know what the frog dog if they increased the temperature of the pan. The scientist increases the temperature of the saucepan very slowly, so the frog hardly notices.
Because the increase is so slow, The frog puts up with incremental change after incremental change, rather than realising early on that something is wrong. At some point, the frog does notice the water is too hot and wants to jump out, but it’s too late. She’s exhausted from the heat, also without noticing. You can only imagine what happened in the end.
It’s a gruesome story but there is certainly some truth in it. This experience would naturally be linked to a person, but I think it also applies to places. Places need to change and adapt to new circumstances, and in a fast-changing world, it is a good time to help places achieve that.
