“The safest road to hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.”
— C. S. Lewis

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, bad outcomes in life creep up on us slowly and quietly. Imagine walking on a nice, gentle path that seems easy and comfortable, but it actually leads to a very bad place. You don't see any warning signs or obvious dangers along the way. This is like when we make small, harmful choices every day, thinking they are not a big deal. For example, if someone starts lying just a little bit, over time these lies can grow and cause big problems. Being aware of our choices and their consequences can help us stay on the right path and avoid negative outcomes.
