Heraclitus

Even though this passage was quite small it had a lot to say. Not so much is the words on the page, but the messages from within. Like…”You can’t step twice into the same river”. Even if something appears to be the same at a glance it is in fact completely different. A person can never step into the same river because a river may be in the same spot, but it changing every second the water runs by. Or the statement…”You wont discover the limits of the soul, however far you go”. There is not a limit to the soul; no matter how hard a person tries if they look for it they will never find it. The closest a person can ever get to achieving the limits of a soul is to just take what they know and except what they don’t. “The hidden harmony is better than the obvious one”. I think anything that is not easy can be much more fulfilling. If you can get to it or see it does not have the same impact that it would if you had to strive to reach it. Lastly “The way up and the way down are one in the same. To me this means that in order to go up or down a person must change directions, therefore no matter which direction it is its still a change.
