Clarification Needed
Would it be possible to ask for someone to explain in a little more detail why this is so? Why is it not good to follow a single road? What if it's the road of wisdom?

Some clarification
You'll find more explanation on this at Sustained Paradox. I'll try to summarize succinctly here:
If we wish to touch G-d Himself, we cannot find Him in any defined, bounded form. He is entirely unbounded, free of any definition. and that can only be discovered in utter paradox.
That is why everything a Jew does according to Torah, is bound up with paradox--because it is divine.

I'm not sure what definitions you mean. Can you explain this more practically? Do you mean if you start thinking of yourself as "outgoing", you should try being quiet, if you think of yourself as "serious" you should try being lighter?
