A Response to Statement 5
The statement that "I am now the same person as I was when I was 5 years old" is false. Although I am obviously still as cute as I was when I was 5 years old, I hardly ever eat Play-doh. But for real, even though I am physically the same human being, I learn new things every day, therefore I am constantly changing. The wise Heraclitus said, "You can never step into the same river; for new waters are always flowing on to you." I wasn't even completely the same person as I was yesterday, because I learned something new today!!!

I agree with your response. People change everyday, even if they dont know it. Everyday you're exposed to new situations that change who you are on the inside. One can never be the same person they were yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI to had the same response as you and although I did not have enough time to finish, I believe that no one is the same as when they were 5, a year ago or even yesterday. People go through experiences in which the outcome shapes who they once were and opens their eyes to learn something new. I agree that yes physically someone is the same human being, but people change and mature.
