Did Mr. Maughm mean life is full of sharp dangerous edges that can hurt you.

He means that the path to spiritual awakening, enlightenment & inner peace is as narrow & as difficult to walk as a razor's edge (going from memory of the movie & book here). Which is true.

True, but it helps and is nice to have as long as you have balance and treat people with respect.
