  • I would also argue the bridge is ever changing as well. It has different vehicles crossing it, every tire wears the surface, the materials expand and contract with temperature, the structure weathers continuously.

    Just because one doesn’t notice, doesn’t mean something doesn’t change.

    Philosophically, it really all boils down to the only thing that exists is the present. The past doesn’t exist, the future doesn’t exist. The only thing that is real is what is happening in this very moment.

    The river is not the same as when you crossed it this morning, neither is the bridge. It is only as it exists now, and it will never exist in this same way at any other time.
