Simplified Meaning:

Sticking to moderate actions is often the safest and most effective approach. Imagine a road. The center part of the road is wide and smooth, perfect for driving straight. But if you go too far to either side, you'll hit the gutters, which can damage your car. In life, being extreme in your opinions or actions can lead to problems, just like driving into a gutter. For example, if you only ever eat junk food or decide to eat nothing but celery, both extremes are bad for your health. A balanced diet with a little bit of everything in moderation is healthier. By applying this idea, you can try to avoid extreme behavior and opinions. This helps you stay safe, healthy, and effective in what you do. It encourages you to find a balanced, middle way in different aspects of life.
