straight path
No curves here
A straight path is a direct route without curves or detours.
The phrase appears frequently in religious and moral contexts, where it means the righteous way of living—the course that avoids temptation and error: Guide us along the straight path.
More literally, it's simply the shortest distance between two points: We took the straight path through the woods.
