“Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? ”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
Simplified Meaning:
When people are afraid or lack courage, they often hesitate because they're concerned about their safety. Imagine you have a dream to start your own business, but you're worried it might fail. The fear inside you asks if it's the safe thing to do. It’s like being invited to join an exciting adventure, but you stay home because you’re too afraid of getting hurt. This way of thinking stops you from taking risks and trying new things. To make progress or achieve something great, you need to sometimes ignore these fears and go for what you really want. If you always ask if something is safe, you might miss out on the best parts of life.
