Awhh well can I be both? I really like the idea of being both because I think both are true. I know a lot of people don't like answers like that and think of them as shallow or, uhmm, defeatist maybe? I'm looking for a different word here, but anyways, I think that overall we, every living being, and even beyond, are ever changing. In an objective way and a more philosophical way, y'know, but we also stay the same in the fact that we are always who we are, and who we are is the whole that is all of those changes. I think that is beautiful way of thinking and that makes me appreciate life a lot — the act of change.

If we don't change then we'll never grow, so we must change because it is in our nature to grow — or, well, I think it should be. UHmm, so, yes. Personally I am ever-changing. I know this to be true because I have an endless desire to learn and understand everything I can, and with that, change in myself will obviously follow.

So yeah, change in everyone and everything is important to me or whatever

i love philosophy nonsense yay!

i do see myself as ever-changing, in fact im changing right now as i type this. the new stimuli, feelings, senses i experience in real-time adds up to the changes im experiencing within me all the time, i like to think. ohh this reminds me of the small discussion i had with someone else today !! it was also about change; more-so about how a character could develop within the stone prison theyre encased in, when they have no real stimuli except the feelings of others around him.. ok whatever it doesnt rlly matter right nyeow

i like to change certain aspects of myself as i engage with media, because exploring different options is fun! although, it does make me feel as though there isnt a real me sometimes. like, a real me that stays the same, that has real opinions that dont change so easily. but most of the time i think thats folly, because what are humans if not ever-changing and inquisitive amirite???

I think Heraclitus has also once said “Day by day, what you do is what you become.” why you change can be explained by this too perchance. all the new and old things you experience throughout your days makes you different from the person you were before it all. he also has a funny name

and yeah, i agree with your take on the quote a lot! the river stays the same because of the constant change, not despite it :> but i think your ‘true’ essence would not change much along with the rest of you, because its just in your nature. and you cant really get rid of that, i dont think.. unless you have an unreasonably long lifespan and can overcome your generational instincts, that is. the quote itself is really obscure, as is most of his sayings; maybe because nearly all of his work was lost and only short scraps were left for preservation.. shucks! but it does give you room for subjectivity :]

congrats on the milestone ! really kewl‼️

gosh i cant tell if this is sound or not its nearing 1am and imm gonna go too sleep zzzz

I'm not That into errr...Philosophy, by the way. I mean, I AM—into it, that is—but I'm not very well educated on it. I just happen to think you don't need to be, because it doesn't matter within this context, and even the littlest knowledge on it can make a big difference to a lot of people. It isn't...very hard, to get people thinking about Philosophical stuff, without inciting fucking. Dialogues. In any case, I'm more interested in the Philosophy of Logic and Free Will than um...the Ethics and Metaphysics stuff I tend to ask about.

Not to dig on Ethics and Metaphysics. I just feel pretentious talking about them. Everyone has heard that stuff before.

In any case. I do view myself as ever-changing, moreso as it's represented in Heraclitus' word. I don't dislike it. Bipolar makes it feel corny, but, at least it's clear when I change, and stuff! I'm not sure how I feel about it relating to the world. Um...I think Earth is definitely...changing but staying the same. Earth will always be special, and will always be Our Earth, despite its—and our, forced upon—changes.
