▪️He even doesn't like a friend's request to accompany him for a walk.

▪️ walking stops the brain.

▪️If it is with a boring companion it is useless

▪️By walking we waste our time for gossips, reading all the inscriptions,notices, s and even milestones.

▪️ Brain stops thinking,. it's just a physical activity.

▪️ One's power to instruct and to amuse is lost while he walks for the sake of walking..
