pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaaase!!

explain this line-"You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you."

thanks!!!

It's simple. Change is constant, nothing remains the same.

Just in case you don't see where Phaedrus came up with that solution, I'll enplane a little more. A river is always running. If it wasn't it wouldn't be a river, it would be... the finger lakes, or something like that. Because it is always running, the old water goes out, and new water goes in. Because the river IS the water and the water you stepped in before is no longer there, you really are stepping into a new river every time, because the river has changed.

Basically, I agree with Phaedrus.
