What is Heraclitus?

Heraclitus was a wise thinker who believed everything is always changing, just like how your toys look different when you play with them all day.

Heraclitus lived a long time ago in a place called Ephesus. He thought of the world as if it were a river, flowing and moving, never staying still. Like when you're on a swing: you go up and down, never really stopping.

Heraclitus said that change is what makes life interesting. He even said something like "You can't step into the same river twice." That’s because the water keeps moving, just like how your friends grow taller or learn new games over time.

He also believed there was a kind of "fire" inside everything, showing that things are always in motion, even if they seem still. It's like when you light a match, it flickers and changes until it goes out. That’s the fire of change!
