I've always liked Hedy Lamarr. An ideal person with both beauty and brains. Inventive scientist and a glamorous movie star. The only one, as far as I know.
I keep seeing this online: you can't step twice into the same river. Ancient wisdom by Heraclitus. But why is it viewed as negative? Yes, everything is always changing. But is that so hard to accept?
This insight prompts us to become more adaptable. Is anyone ever too flexible? In tune with the staggering variety of changes we face.
Either adjust. Or go mad.
I only feel the same way once. Thankfully.
This fact grounds my attitude toward life.
To want to go back to what was good and pleasurable makes sense. As long as it has something new to offer.
But maybe it doesn't. It's no longer fun. Having reached its term.
Time to get the wheels turning. Much easier, for all that.
