The goldfish is suspended in mid-air.

The phrase "A goldfish floating aimlessly" has long been used to describe lazy people who are carefree and irresponsible, perhaps because it's not widely known.

Is that really a goldfish?

I spent hours observing the aquarium and realized that goldfish are not lazy at all. They swim continuously, almost without a moment's rest. The tank is narrow, so after swimming a short distance, they have to turn around and continue swimming. The turns in their swimming paths are countless. If you were to connect the swimming paths of each fish, it would be several hundred meters per hour.

I'm truly amazed at where that fish gets its energy to be so active. If there were a thorough scientific study, fish would surely be chosen as the number one track and field athlete on the planet for their endurance and agility.

Movement is the form of existence of the universe. Movement is present in all things, not just fish! Trees, for example, move silently. They live, grow, release oxygen during the day, absorb carbon dioxide at night, naturally regulating their environment. Yet, trees appear motionless. All the subtle transformations within their roots and leaves are imperceptible to observation. Only insects and animals can see their movement.

When observing the world, people often hastily see only the surface, failing to analyze all aspects thoroughly. This leads to hasty judgments and wrong decisions, ultimately resulting in failure. Failure, without recognizing the cause, only leads to lamentation. In reality, humanity has paid a heavy price for these erroneous judgments, wrong decisions, and failures. But how can we learn from them?

Even within our own bodies, we often don't fully understand ourselves. Our heart, liver, lungs, and circulatory and digestive systems work continuously, even while we sleep, like a perfect perpetual motion machine. When an entity dies, it only changes its state of motion; it never truly stops. That is, it enters a state of decomposition. So it's clear: the world exists in constant motion in various forms. There's never any state of limbo.
