“O, what men dare do! What men may do! What men daily do, not knowing what they do!”
— William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:
People often do things without fully understanding the consequences of their actions. They take risks, make bold moves, and sometimes act without thinking things through. Imagine a person deciding to climb a dangerous mountain without much preparation. They might not realize the full danger they are putting themselves in. In everyday life, this can be like making a quick decision to buy something expensive on impulse, without considering how it will affect their finances later on. The idea is that humans frequently act without recognizing the potential outcomes, just going through the motions without being fully aware of what they are doing. This reflection encourages us to be more mindful and thoughtful about our actions.
