One time I was taking the subway and some guy was lecturing very loudly to no one in particular about Heraclitus. Only in NYC do you get a random crazy ranting about an Ancient Greek philosopher.
Okay, seriously, how many kids know anything about Heraclitus? Do they even know about Shakespeare? Milton? Newton? Sir Francis Bacon? Can they locate the Pacific Ocean on a globe? I saw an article recently about teachers being compensated because of a test that was âtoo hardâ â they had to do things like find the Philippines on a map. TEACHERS!?
Depends on the cemetery. In the very oldest burials, the the more elaborate the engravings, the more interesting the reads. Many are highly literate, others are just delightful to read, and some get an outright laugh. Hard to keep up a pace when one is continually distracted.
Hereclitusâor at least as he was understoodâwas guilty of sophistry. He failed to adequately define or understand the word âsame.â Later philosophers made distinctions between âmatterâ and âform.â To take Heraclitus at an extreme, one cannot even step into the same river once, for it is changing as one does so.
Itâs good to see that absolutely everyone in the known universe is perpetually obsessed with someone elseâs exercising habits. Kind of restores your faith in all of humanity, doesnât it?
I suspect there are many Mount Hope Cemeteries in the USA. The one in our city is reasonably large and the old part has some challenging terrain plus many nationally important permanent residents.

Mt. Hope is HUGE! No wonder heâs making good miles on his walk.

There are usually plenty of trees to provide shade. If you walk around a city park and you are usually in the sun almost the whole way.

Also true: The same man never enters a cemetery twice.

How would a kid know about Heraclitus?

River and cemetery are not synonymous

Itâs better to exercise around it than to rest in it.

And speaking about walking in cemeteries my brother & I when we were little would walk around Astoriaâs old cemetery to look at the headstones

Must be a very good school, if some maybe 4th grader can quip about Heraclitus by itself and get it into a correct context, too.
