“Man always travels along precipices. His truest obligation is to keep his balance”
— Pope John Paul II

Simplified Meaning:
Life is often full of challenges and difficult situations, just like walking on the edge of a cliff where one wrong step can lead to a fall. Our main task is to stay balanced, meaning we need to make careful choices and stay calm, even when things are tough. Imagine a tightrope walker; if they focus and stay balanced, they can cross safely. If they get scared or make sudden moves, they might fall. Just like the tightrope walker, in life, we need to take things one step at a time and keep our emotions in check. This teaches us to stay focused, maintain stability, and avoid making hasty decisions that could lead to trouble.
