Interpretation
The line frames modern life as a slow, cumulative exposure to harms that are pervasive rather than dramatic—suggesting that danger comes less from a single catastrophe than from everyday environments and habits. “Toxic world” can be read literally (pollution, chemicals, contaminated food and water) and metaphorically (stress, misinformation, exploitative work cultures, corrosive social dynamics). The phrase “slowly being poisoned to death” emphasizes latency and normalization: people may adapt to harmful conditions until the damage is advanced. As rhetoric, it functions as a warning and a call to awareness, implying the need for personal and collective action to reduce exposure and change systems that make toxicity routine.
