“Our nature lies in movement; complete calm is death”

Blaise Pascal

Simplified Meaning:

People naturally like to be active and do things. When we stop moving or doing anything, it can feel like we are not really living. Think about a river that flows and is full of life; fish swim in it, and plants grow around it. If the river stops flowing and becomes still, it starts to dry up, and living things can't survive. Just like that, when we keep ourselves busy, we feel alive and engaged. But if we try to stay perfectly calm and do nothing all the time, we might feel empty and lifeless. To live a fulfilling life, it's important to stay active, learn new things, and keep moving forward.
