"Plus que par la peur de s'égarer, mon espoir est qu'ils soient incités par la peur de rester enfermés dans des structures qui leur donnent un faux sentiment de sécurité."
— Pope Francis
Simplified Meaning:
Instead of being scared of making mistakes, it’s more important for people to be afraid of staying stuck in their comfort zones. When you only stick to what’s safe and familiar, you might feel secure, but you're not really growing or experiencing new things. For example, imagine someone who has a stable job they don’t like but never tries to find a better one because they fear change. They think they are safe, but over time they may become unhappy and unfulfilled. This advice encourages people to step out of what they know and try new things, even if it seems risky. It’s about recognizing that staying in the same place can be more harmful than taking a chance and possibly making mistakes. By leaving their comfort zones, people can learn, grow, and find new opportunities that they never would have discovered otherwise. In life, it’s better to be brave and face the unknown than to let fear keep you from reaching your full potential.
