Don't understand Behviour.enables

Can someone explain this documentation to me Enabled Behaviours are Updated, disabled Behaviours are not.

This is shown as the small checkbox in the inspector of the behavior. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Behaviour.html

I wanted to understand what varaibleName.enabled=false was doing but I only ended up getting confused. Can someone help.

Refers to the image of the new UI. [enalble or disable the image] Make a canvas UI. Then in it , create a new UI -> image. Now add the script is in the example. To the script add a public bool OnOff; to turn on and off or to hide the image. Surround pauseMenu.enabled = true; with an if statement. Save the script and return to Unity. If you try to drag and drop an image or a sprite into the component it do not work. But if you click next to the fileld "PouseMenu" there is a round button. if you click in it a new window will pop up and now you can select the item. The item must be a game object containing a Image script components. In this example will be itself because we didn't create other UI Image game objects. but if you create other Ui Image, you can drag and drop that one. Return to the script and add 

   else
    {
        pauseMenu.enabled = false;
    }

Drag and drop an image sprite to the Image Script to the variable Source Image.

Start the game: Now if OnOff is enable at start, then the image will be there in the game. Now if OnOff is not enable the image will be not there in the game.

This is better that enable or disable the game object when there are script running as component in the game object you want to hide an image.
