It encourages individuals to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new opportunities, but acknowledges that certain actions may be culturally or morally inappropriate. The inclusion of incest and folk dancing in the exceptions appears to be a humorous exaggeration to emphasize the importance of choosing experiences wisely.
