it's wiser to be cautious and careful than to be hasty or rash and so do something you may later regret
'It's better to be safe than sorry'
Back then, I never really understood why she said that. I honestly thought it was just a cliche but years later, the reality of it hit me for six. Yes, years later and I have finally understood why she said it.
The phrase which I can relate it to is this one - 'Obedience is better than sacrifice'........... Let me explain why
There was a time when I had learned of someone's death and so I asked why it happened. I was informed that the person was involved in an accident and then it was said that the person wasn't wearing a seatbelt at the time which contributed to their death. At the time my first reaction was one of shock and then one of sympathy.
When you get into a car, your first initial reaction would be to make sure your safe before you start moving and that would include wearing a seatbelt. I wonder sometimes that if the person had worn their seatbelt, might they of survived the ordeal?
It's one of those situations where following instructions would be much easier than dealing with the aftermath, We live in a society where people are told to break rules and to live life on the edge and truth be told, it hasn't done them the world of good.
There are times in life that we just have to take the word and live by it. It really is better to be safe than sorry.
Instructions, Commands and Guidelines are there for a reason. Let's adhere to them and be safe.
You don't want to have to apologise to someone for causing injury or harm to their loved ones. Do all you can to make sure you are safe and that everyone is safe.
All around you, people will tell you to do things that go against what it says on the tin. You, personally, you must do what it says on the tin and get it right.
Be wise, Be Safe and Stop living life on the edge.
Love ya'll greatly
