Someone who is always moving and always into something new is like a stone that moves. There is an old saying that stones that are moved do not get moss on them. So like the stone a person who is always moving is not considered set in their ways. We use this idiom when someone does something bad to us and we want to be bad back to them. We say to ourselves and others that what the bad people are doing to us is a game that two can play.
