Summary

This quote implies that sometimes it is wiser to allow things to run their course instead of trying to control or manipulate them. Just like trying to restrain a powerful and resistant elephant can lead to chaos and danger, attempting to control an uncontrollable situation can have negative consequences. Letting go and allowing things to unfold naturally can sometimes yield better results, as attempting to force or control may only exacerbate the problem.
