Movement is essential

Yes, movement is not merely necessary; it is essential. My evidence is the functioning of the living species that writes this text and the laws, that is, the rules, of the universe in which it exists.

Let us first look at humanity, then at the universe. Let us look not to finish, but merely to begin. Looking will not end it, because since the beginning of human observation, people have been looking—and not only have they not stopped, they continue to look as if they have just started. And every day they discover and learn new things.

All these discoveries, learnings, advancements, and developments are possible only through movement. The protagonist of these phenomena is humanity itself. The human being and the faculties belonging to humanity are in constant motion. Let us consider simply the beating of the heart, the flow of blood through the veins, the workings of the mind, and the emotional states of the soul—is any of this ever still? Only when the soul departs from the body does it truly cease to move.

Yet movement is not confined to humanity and its attributes. Let us now briefly observe the universe: the flow of water, the processing of iron. One might say that water can remain still and iron can remain unworked. Yet even if they appear still, they are not and cannot be. When water ceases to flow, it begins to stink; when iron is not worked, it begins to rust. Otherwise, there will come a day on this planet when nothing will rotate—neither on its own axis nor around the Sun.

Is it only our planet, Earth, that moves by revolving, or do other larger and smaller planets also move? If the Sun, the stars, and all other entities of the universe exist and will continue to exist, they are compelled to move. Without movement, there can be no right to existence. To earn the right to exist and to sustain existence is possible only through movement.

We are compelled to move and to persist. Because one of the rules of this world is the punishment of stillness. Stagnant water smells; unworked iron rusts. When iron that could be processed remains unworked, potential value is condemned to worthlessness—and the inevitable punishment will follow. Protection from this danger is achieved only by processing the iron and ensuring its continuous use.

Humanity too is punished when it fails to progress. A person who attempts merely to stand still does not even remain in place—they begin to regress. Intellectually, physically, and spiritually. The cause of this punishment of regression is not fatigue, falling, or even moving backward. The cause is the refusal to correct or change these conditions, and instead choosing to lie down and surrender. A person who takes two steps forward and one step back is still human, and entirely natural.
