We must not stop.
The movement is essential.
Life is like a bicycle
The moment it stops - the balance goes for a toss
Another nice analogy of life is Life is like a stream.
The moment the flow of the stream is lost, all sorts of fungi pollute the water - and the water becomes dirty and ceases to be a potable one.
So, we have to keep moving all throughout our lives - physically - spiritually - metaphorically - we must not stop the movement - because the
Ultimate Stop comes with Death.
life is like an ice cream...
enjoy it before it melts...
