Here's a breakdown:

* Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. This means an object at rest wants to stay at rest, and an object in motion wants to stay in motion at the same speed and direction.

* Newton's First Law of Motion (also known as the Law of Inertia) states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

So, the desire you're describing is actually a fundamental property of matter.
