Además, también es evidente que al caminar uno se acerca constantemente lo más posible al bienestar, aunque no lo alcance del todo. Por otro lado sentándose quieto, y cuanto más se está sentado quieto, más cerca se está de sentirse enfermo. La salud y la salvación sólo se encuentran en el movimiento... si uno sigue caminando, todo irá bien. ----
