Often, for the fear of their falling into rivers and ravines, we discourage our children from scaling the high peaks of life. We would rather they stick to the 'safe' average path or road that was made by a vast majority who have passed by, occasionally admiring some great views from 'safe' vistas or scenic view points. We bolster our approach with our own experiences in straying off the beaten path, forgetting that the desire to do so was as irresistible to us as it is to our children.
The road, the peaks, the rivers and the ravines, are all needed and important in life. They are all there to be experienced, with care, effort and some calculated risks, hopefully avoiding catastrophic or fatal injuries. Not everyone wants the exact same journey, even while on the same road.
