Sedentary people are much concerned with all kinds of pleasures... accustomed to luxury and success in worldly occupations & to indulgence in worldly desires. Therefore their souls are colored with all kinds of blameworthy & evil qualities. It will become clear that sedentary life constitutes the last stage of civilization & the point where it begins to decay. Bedouins are closer to being good than sedentary people..
