East vs West - 4

You cannot step into the same river twice.
— Heraclitus

Like a river, all things fall into the scope of this quote. Time changes everything. Therefore, anything you encounter will have transformed into something slightly different than the previous version you had interacted with. What does this mean? In reality, nothing, but it is something to think about.

THE SEARCH FOR SELF IN THE MATRIX OF SOCIAL GOVERNANCE

In the above example, the self is a drop of water in the plethora of water particles that make up the societal flow.  We are always carried on to a new now, lost in the current of game theory tit for tat mathematical equations which result in a data model that is constant but never the same.  We are like the enigma of quantum entanglement, the truth is illusive and changes depending on who and when the observer is.  This is the time to reach for a book onTaoist philosophy and relax by the fire with a fine glass of wine and ponder why you have a bellybutton.
