Life Depends Upon Stillness

Decade ago, popular words in China were “Life depends upon exercise” no one saying stillness.
“Life on exercise” was said by a French philosopher Voltaire and “Life depends upon stillness” was said by Chinese qigong master sight.
We found that wild elephants could live nearly two hundred years and domestic elephants less than one hundred years. Sheep dog twenty-seven years, domestic dog fifteen years. A proof exercise is good.
But on the other hand, at 1737, in India, a sea turtle was caught and sent to London zoo where it lived to 1950, still alive.
Decades ago, a sea turtle was caught in South Korea. By the study of scientists, its age was about one thousand years. For mercy the turtle was set free to the sea.
From both points of view, exercise and stillness are all right. But, it must depend on age.
Age below seventy can do more exercise. Over seventy should be on the stillness side. To this we must know clearly.
