Floating goldfish

The phrase "Living in the middle of a goldfish" is unknown who said it, but for a long time now it seems to have been an idiom used to refer to lazy people, who are only used to hanging out and being carefree.

Is that really a goldfish?

I spent hours watching the aquarium and realized that goldfish were not lazy. Goldfish swam continuously, almost without stopping for a moment. The tank was narrow, and after swimming a short distance, they had to turn and continue swimming. The turns in the fish's swimming path were countless. If we connected the swimming paths of each fish, it would have to cover several hundred meters in an hour.

I was really surprised to know where that fish got the strength to move continuously like that. If there was a thorough scientific study, fish would be chosen as the number one athlete on this planet in terms of endurance and flexibility.

Movement is the form of existence of the universe. Movement belongs to all things, not just fish! For example, trees move silently. They are alive, growing, releasing oxygen during the day and absorbing carbon dioxide at night, naturally regulating the environment. Yet when looking at trees, they seem motionless. All the hidden transformations in the roots and leaves cannot be detected by observation. Only insects and animals that move can see it.

When observing the world, people often hastily see through the shell, without carefully analyzing many aspects, leading to confused judgments and wrong decisions, and the result is failure. Failure, but when not realizing the cause, all they can do is cry to heaven. In reality, humans have to pay a heavy price for wrong judgments, wrong decisions and failures. But who knows how to learn from experience?

Even in the human body, we often do not understand ourselves. The heart, liver, lungs, circulatory and digestive systems work continuously even when we sleep, like a perfect perpetual motion machine. When an entity dies, it only changes its state of motion and never stops. That is, it enters a state of decomposition. So it is clear: the world exists in continuous motion in different forms. There is never a moment of inaction.
