“There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action ”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Simplified Meaning:
When someone doesn't know important information and makes decisions or takes action without that knowledge, it can lead to serious problems. It's like trying to drive a car without knowing the rules of the road. You might cause accidents because you don't understand how to steer, when to stop, or how fast to go. For example, imagine someone who doesn't know how medicine works but starts giving health advice to others. They could harm people instead of helping them because they don't have the right information. This idea encourages us to learn and understand before acting, making sure we are informed and not causing harm by our actions. So, before doing something important, it's good to first make sure you really know what you're doing.
