An image of roads appears in Proverbs 15:19: The way of the lazy is as a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a highway (v. 19). Laziness and uprightness create very different experiences of life.
For the lazy person, the way is like a hedge of thorns. Everything feels obstructed, difficult, and painful. Laziness creates its own barriers. Tasks become more difficult because they were neglected, and the path fills with needless trouble.
The path of the upright, however, is a highway. Uprightness clears the road. It creates openness, directness, and freedom of movement. This does not mean life has no challenges, but that righteousness removes many of the obstacles created by folly.
