It is following the line of least resistance that makes men

Summary

This quote suggests that when people and natural forces opt for the easiest or most convenient path, they can become distorted or deviate from their true course. It implies that taking the path of least resistance can lead to a lack of personal growth, moral integrity, and authentic expression. Just as a river that continuously follows the easiest path may form bends and curves, individuals who consistently choose the easy way may develop a warped sense of character or identity. Therefore, the quote emphasizes the importance of embracing challenges and making conscious choices, rather than simply opting for what is most convenient.
