About This Quote

This quote is a good analogy for the idea that sometimes things are really hard to deal with. Within the electrical industry, this is also called "the third rail." It means that you can get hurt badly if you touch something that has a high voltage of electricity flowing through it. The third rail is where trains run on high voltage power lines. If you are too close to the third rail, you are in danger of getting hurt or even killed.

The same applies to some people or situations. If you are too close to them, you are in danger of getting hurt or even killed.
