The Concept of Guardrails

Guardrails are systems designed to keep us from straying into dangerous areas, and they are essential not just on highways but in various aspects of life. They should be established in financial, moral, and relational contexts to provide guidance and safety. A personal guardrail serves as a standard of behavior that aligns with one's conscience, helping to safeguard emotional and social well-being. The importance of establishing boundaries in life is underlined by the civilizational need for direction and protection from actions that could lead to regret.
