"A fallen lighthouse is more dangerous than a reef"

- Navjot Singh Sidhu

About this Quote

This quote by Navjot Singh Sidhu is a metaphor for the risks of complacency. A lighthouse is a sign of safety and security, guiding ships away from threat. When a lighthouse drops, it is no more able to provide this advice, leaving ships prone to the threats of the sea. A coral reef, on the other hand, is a well-known danger, and ships can take actions to avoid it. Consequently, a dropped lighthouse is much more harmful than a coral reef, as it is an unanticipated threat that ships are not prepared for.

This quote can additionally be interpreted as a caution against complacency. When we become as well comfy in our lives, we can become susceptible to unanticipated risks. We must remain watchful and also take steps to secure ourselves from prospective threats. Just as ships must understand the threats of the sea, we have to understand the risks in our lives and take steps to safeguard ourselves.
