Everything is in motion or changing or interacting or transforming into something else.  The rate of changes, although might be slow or fast, but the information or evidences of such changes as recorded in the fabric of the nature itself, where available, is always happening at a Max speed, like a speed of light or if not, at superluminary speed. Motion, however, also implies existence of stillness. Unless it was still, then how come everything is now changing. And it is changing from what? The answer is stillness. Motion and Stillness are the primordial eternal duo.

Now if you consider the entire universe, is it changing? Change means an outside reference against which you compare and contrast the change. How do you measure changes if you do not have anything else outside you. Then how do you know that anything is changing, ever? From the perspective of the entire universe, there is not even a concept of change. Everything is the same and still, forever. Yet, internally, the smaller parts are changing, incessantly, in reference to one another. In this way, the universe is simultaneously still and ever-changing, just with the change of perspective. Things those which are currently changing has an imprinted information/memory of both original and current stillness in the background, even though they cannot perceive that stillness themselves. A good analogy will be a photon and a human. A photon is already moving at the speed of light, hence from its own perspective, no time passes by and hence nothing is happening.  Everything is just still.  But the human sees that the photon is moving very fast, at the speed of light. For a human, nothing is resting, everything is changing. If a photon wants to perceive changes and motion, it has to slow down. It's a paradox! In order to see the changes, ie, changing yourself more, you have to do less changing ie. slow down!  For a photon, if you want to experience time, motion and changes, you have to slow down. In fact, the photon will experience the greatest time, changes and motion if he completely stop. Likewise, we are perceiving the highest degree of changes because we are relatively still compared to photons. For the "time perceiving" purpose, still objects like us are at the highest speed at perceiving and the photons are at the lowest speed. If photon ever wants to do that, then it will face the problems, as we are facing, like causality, and time. The morale of the story is that the universe is simultaneously still and in constant motion, depending on context, both of which are equally valid.

This co-mingling of stillness and incessant changes gives rise to "something". This "something" is just "one thing" but unfortunately named and used as "different things". Because this is just "one thing" but people have treated it as completely different things, people cannot reconcile the difference among them. The difference among them are purely your misunderstanding or ignorance, it will not be reconcilable unless you can see that it is just the same "one thing". The relation of incessant motion against the bigger, more primitive absolute stillness is that "one thing". It has been known as Time, Causality, Memory, Logos, Mind, Physical Laws of the Universe, Karma, Universal Consciousness, Thermodynamics, etc.. The sheeple might call it with different names but the Sages of all ages always knew that, "It's just One".

If you do not think for yourself, but rather try to find the answer by reading other people's work you will never find any real meanings, because the Sages or wise people have something in their mind but write it only indirectly about it, either knowingly or unknowingly. When they do it knowingly, they do it, quite paradoxically, to help you, so that you can find the meaning of life or any other subject matter by yourself. Additionally there are some thoughts or knowledge in the mind of the writer that they themselves do not know how they know it. Even worst, there is a deep paradox at the core of existence that is not amenable to logic, inaccessible to ordinary intuition, and hence not communicable in writings. So, instead they write only the parts of what they know with full confidence but something is always missing from their writing. Words are not really enough to convey what they actually trying to say. One way or another, unfortunately, you cannot have the complete understanding and knowledge of being from the writings of your fellow people, although it might help you as long as you yourself is also thinking and verifying by your best inner judgments (see thought training essay). On the other hand there are some half wise who will deliberately hide the telltale signs or giveaways of their ignorance and will try to pretend as wise as their masters. The only way they can achieve it by obfuscation, difficult sentence and wordings and introducing a bunch of unnecessary and useless new terms to sound erudite. In this way they earn your confidence for their own ego boost and your demise. You will also find some quasi-wise who are just downright imbecile but unfortunately trained themselves to read, write and talk. Those are the real culprit for the confusion in the world if you take those stupid babeler as an authority, unsuspectingly, just because were were taught in the school as blind dogma.

Example: Plato.

Most of the Pre-Socratics came into the same truth but they approached it from different directions so what they were saying is partly true, but truth, nonetheless. It is like the elephant seeing by the binds. Some of the Pre-Socratics actually experienced the truth but only from different side of the elephant so their description seems totally disparate, enough for anybody to reject them altogether, if that person does not have the eyes to see it correctly. Plato, who himself never experienced the reality that the Pre-Socratics experienced, but pretended that he understood what they were trying to say and reconstructed a monstrous metaphysics, quite innocently. This is the problem of not knowing and not acknowledging one's own limitations and folly, and when one tries to hide it. But those who believed Plato as the authority, instead of themselves, are suffering intellectually and they deserve this suffering because it's simply self-inflicted.

On the other hand, instead of using the schema constructed by other people, if you think and observe yourself, you can reach a valid conclusion, all by yourself. After finding the meaning and the conclusion, as you read others sages, you will see that you are Right, too. Only in this way you can have your flower of your own, rather than poisonous schema injected by others, typically in schools.
