Summary

This quote suggests that remaining indecisive or neutral in a situation can be harmful. It uses a metaphor of standing in the middle of the road where one is vulnerable to being hit by traffic from both directions. In the same way, when we fail to take a clear stance or make a decision, we expose ourselves to the negative consequences of opposing forces. It serves as a reminder to choose a side and take action to avoid being overwhelmed or impacted by diverse and conflicting influences.
