Are you sure that you will not go into the same river twice?

Have you parted for a long time, and now you want to try everything from scratch? Or left with a bored job, but it turned out that she was just a paradise compared to others? So you want to come back, but people say that you can not enter twice into one river. What did Heraclitus really mean when he said this phrase? Let's figure it out and decide at the same time whether it's worth it to waste time and effort on the second attempt.

Of course, everything flows, everything changes. Therefore, literally: twice in one river you will not enter. And more precisely, so the first time, when the water entered, the river every moment is new. Like the person at the level of biology: the division of cells, the movement of energy, fluids in the body - is constantly changing. Man and the other in the next minute, second, moment ... So it turns out that you can not enter the river twice.

It was about such a transformation of life processes that Heraclitus spoke. Therefore, if you get acquainted with someone or get a new job, personal or business relationships change at any moment and they will never be the same again. But they can improve or deteriorate relative to the subject with whom the transformations occur.

But why do people mean the meaninglessness of repeated attempts to establish relations under the saying "twice into one river" ? Or, relying on a famous phrase, support the victorious appearance, afraid to bow, so that the crown does not fly off? The answer is simple: it's an excuse, which makes it so convenient to hide. Of course, after all, a great thought was spoken by the great Heraclitus, and who will deny authority? There is no need to dispute, because the truly outstanding philosopher did not speak at all about what the contemporaries attributed.

So what to do: to be or not to be a second attempt? Go into the same river twice or look for another? We will seek a solution solely by means of a river, before which you are now in thoughtful standing, so that it is more obvious and that the wounds do not disturb the past.

Here it is - an ever-changing river. Before you. And you are not the same as they were a moment ago. So what? To go on a voyage and experience all the good things that happened? Or is it terrible to get wet again, freeze and be shattered about the steep rapids? If you are like this, from the bay-floundering into the water, nothing good will come of it, even if you are a swimmer, which one to look for. Let's pay attention to the fact that the river is familiar to you. You know all her whims: where is the warm current, where is the cold, where she is affectionate, and where she draws into the whirlpool ... Use knowledge for yourself for good. Kayak or raft float - you decide. But the fact that the journey must be prepared taking into account past mistakes is beyond question!

So we came to the most difficult stage. Because I will have to change myself. What did not suit your partner or employer? Are you ready to look at yourself from the outside and not only admit mistakes, but also become exactly what the "river" wants to see you? Will you perceive the new image as correct, truly your own? Only you can answer this question.

Yes, they say that you can not go into the same river twice. So what? You can enjoy life more than once or twice, you need to be happy almost always ("almost" - circumstances are not dependent on a person, but there are so few of them, you will agree ...).
