Those who are brave enough go straight into the center of any dangerous situation and often come out alive on the other side. Most people aren’t very brave, of course, and to try and skirt around a danger looks safer than to go right into the center of it. Unfortunately it isn’t safer, because if you don’t go through the center you meet with an ambush later on, and there the chances are totally against you. But the odd thing is that if you keep walking around a danger, if you choose the indirect, cautious method, avoiding an open conflict, it will seem for a time to work.
