“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien

Simplified Meaning:
Going out into the world can be risky because once you start on a journey, you can't always control where it will take you. This means that life is full of unexpected twists and turns. Imagine you decide to take a walk in your neighborhood. You might meet someone who tells you about a new job opportunity or an event you did not know about. This new information could change the direction of your day or even your life. It's like starting a new chapter without knowing how the story will end. The advice here is to be prepared and stay grounded when you leave your comfort zone, because life’s path is unpredictable and full of surprises.
