Heraclitus

Ok so I really liked the fragments form Heraclitus. I thought they were good thoughts for the most part. They seemed to be funny to me also…a few of them I laughed at because of the simplicity of the statement. I also laughed because these are common sense things I think but I didn’t really seem to ever think of them by myself as sad as that may be to say. One statement that struck me was “the way up and down are one and the same” However dumb this sounds to some people it actually makes sense. The idea of everything being in a constant state of change is really legitimate thought. “all things flow, The sun is new everyday, you cant step twice into the same river” all these saying are true and go to show that the world around does change and it is a good thing. I have never thought of change as a good thing but it can be and change is natural no matter if you like it or not. I do think he was right in saying “Its in change that things find rest” this statement is quite a big one and I’m not sure if I fully understand it however I think it’s a good concept and it has to have truth to it.
