This is why a Biblically based balance keeps us where we really need to be, though often when the world comes at you the life saving reaction might take you off the road for a time of conservative avoidance and survival. I have friends in the grave that zigged when they should have zagged.
Overall we need to keep it all in perpective and make it to our destination and stop along the way from time to time to let travellers know that the southbound lane leads to a dead end. Some believe, turn around, and follow, some think you must be joking.

I don't believe the world is on the road of life. They are dead in trespasses and sins, without God and without life. We are
in Him who is
The Way,
The Truth, and
The Life. Granted this one way road we are traveling isn't free from hazards. Like the deer that jumped out in front of my car this summer, there are many things in the ditches to distract us, and there are possible detours set up by the enemy to lure folks away from THE WAY, but no one but the redeemed are walking the road I am on.
"And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness.
The unclean will not journey on it;
it will be for those who walk in that Way;
wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion will be there,
nor will any ferocious beast get up on it;
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there," (Isa.35:8-9)
