"My point is not that everything is bad, but that everything is dangerous"
Simplified meaning
Think about walking through a forest. The forest is beautiful and peaceful, but there are also risks like wild animals, poisonous plants, or getting lost. This doesn't mean the forest is bad; there are just things in it that can harm you. In everyday life, many things we enjoy or take part in, like driving a car or using the internet, have potential dangers. It’s important to be aware and careful, even with things that seem good at first glance. So, while you don't need to stop enjoying life, you should stay alert and mindful of possible risks to stay safe.
