Simplified meaning
This phrase suggests that, before taking any action, one should make sure it will not cause harm to others. Imagine a doctor treating a patient. The doctor's first priority is not to make the patient worse. For instance, if a medicine has a high chance of serious side effects, the doctor might look for a safer alternative. In everyday life, this idea can help us make better choices too. If you’re helping a friend with a problem, first ensure your help doesn’t make things worse for them. It’s about being careful and thoughtful, making sure our actions are safe and beneficial.
