“The ship wherein Theseus and the youth of Athens returned from Crete had thirty oars, and was preserved by the Athenians down even to the time of Demetrius Phalereus, for they took away the old planks as they decayed, putting in new and stronger timber in their places
We have an adage " the one that says " yam taste sweeter when roasted" and the other that says " yam taste sweeter when boiled" are both correct. Me talking proverb. Lol. Perspective is everything.
Ije, like you rightly captured, experiences, new knowledge, reasoning, emotions etc tells who we are per time per place. I stand with the opposers. An object whose original part has been changed or replaced, irrespective of whether their function remains intact, is no longer the same. The idea of function can be a topic for another time but in terms of sameness it is not. So as humans, we are not constant. Our thoughts, experiences, new insights etc cause new patterns of behaviour and responses from us. In terms of matter- flesh, wood, metal, etc we are the same, but in terms of content we are not, and we keep changing.
It’s been a minute I dropped something here…. Mehn!! This really made me have a debate with myself.
In summery, I have come to a conclusion that whatever evolves it’s no longer the same.
Just as our phones iOS that needs to be updated, for us to do better as humans we need to make changes. Once a huge change/update is made, that thing can never be the same.
Be it, productivity, engagement, behavior, function, speed, etc. It changes the results of things. Ie Situation, or activity.
We all need to throw the word "this is who I am" it’s just an excuse, to run away from an uncomfortable certain upgrade one needs. Just change that bad habit already.
As the old saying "the only constant thing in life is CHANGE.
Both humans and inanimate objects are subject to change from the moment we are born or created till date,we are constantly evolving (metamorphosing) in stages, seasons, etc
One out of God's wonders that never ceases to amaze me is the psychology of human development from conception through toddler, childhood, adolescence and adulthood ,we float through life and we are never the same again.
There is no more striking symbol of transformation than a butterfly. From egg to larva, to leaving the safety of the cocoon and emerging as a butterfly in her unfurling glory, the transformation that takes place almost before our eyes symbolically represents hope and new beginnings.
Friends, pardon my epistle,so I stand on the opposing that an object is never the same if all of the original parts has been changed.
In conclusion,my dear Panel of Judges,Co-debaters and accurate Time keeper(if any),I hope I've been able to convince and not confuse, right?LOL
