Life is a Journey
From the very moment of creation, mankind is on a journey. He is a traveller and is not allowed to halt except when he reaches either Paradise or Hell-Fire.
The wise one among them is the one who knows that travelling is based on hardships and danger. It is usually hard to seek pleasures and relief during it which are to be acquired after it is complete.
Every footstep and every moan made during the journey will not stop him.
It is proven that the traveller is preparing supplies, which will take him to his final end. And if he halts, sleeps or rests, he is doing so while preparing himself to complete his journey.
