"愚か者は天使が足を踏み入れることを恐れる場所に突進する"
— Alexander Pope
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people who don't think carefully about their actions jump into situations that wiser, more cautious people would avoid. Imagine a group of friends sees an icy lake and one person immediately runs and jumps onto it without checking if it's safe. The other friends, understanding the danger, stay back and look for a safer way to cross or simply avoid the lake entirely. This quote is about the different ways people approach risk. Some people act impulsively without understanding the consequences, which can lead to trouble or danger. Others take time to think and consider the risks, choosing safer paths or avoiding unnecessary risks. In life, this advice suggests that it's better to be like the cautious friends—taking a moment to evaluate the situation—rather than rushing into something that might be harmful or dangerous. By being more thoughtful and careful, you can avoid many problems and make better decisions.
