the entire cosmos, “an ever-living fire” which makes sense, for fire can turn into other various elements through what we call a cycle. The question is, why did Heraclitus put such an emphasis on fire? There are many answers behind Heraclitus’s choice for fire, but most are mere speculation. I feel it is my turn to provide my thoughts on why fire is essential to Heraclitus and the world.

Oceans ever turning, rivers ever rushing, wind ever blowing, and lakes ever placid. Nature stands with all of it’s raw, unforgiving beauty dunting over mankind, not afraid to show its untapped strength.

As shown in the ads of Suistudio; feminist ideals have permeated into the “thick coating” of the masculine archetype. No longer is “femininity” in need of the male protectorate as a sturdy platform to build a steady life on in an ever-changing
philosophers still scratch their heads over. While we may not be able to answer this head spinning question, for life is always changing and evolving, just as that of the qualities and aspects that are involved with the normal, everyday cycle that is life. For this, we turn to history to see where it all started and how far we have come as the ever-changing society that makes up our world.

we have realized that the African American community has grown and developed. Our communities have come to live in harmony with one another.
