The Straight Path

There is a proverb which says:
‎الطريق المعهود هو أسلم الطرق
“The beaten path,
is the safest path.”

Which means: when you stick to the main & usual road, you have a better chance of reaching your destination.

But if you go DIY-mode, wander off the main roads and walk or drive into the bushes: you make things difficult, you may get lost, you may get bitten by a snake, or get attacked by a wild animal, or get stung by thorns, or fall into a ditch, or your car may hit a rock etc.

Stick to the path of our elders, you will be safe…
