Summary

This quote suggests that in our younger years, we tend to be more active and engaged in physical activities like playing games and running around. However, as we grow older and reach middle age, we become more settled both in terms of our lifestyle and mindset. We become less prone to engaging in physical exercises and more focused on our responsibilities and routines. The quote highlights the contrast between the energetic and carefree nature of youth and the more stable and settled disposition of adulthood.
