'Think Fresh'
Saturdays are great. Aren't they?
Reading about the Theseus of Ship Philosophy also known as Theseus' paradox - If an old ship that has seen all the corners of the ocean and fought plenty of waves in its times has to retire and repaired with every nail and wooden board replaced by a new one. Whether the ship would remain the same if it were entirely replaced, piece by piece, Wondering what would happen if the original planks were gathered up after they were replaced, and used to build a second ship. Would the second ship have the soul of the old ship or be a completely new one? - I wonder what happens to people who move from their home country to a completely new place. Cultural shocks, new people, new customs and traditions. They don't just come out of their comfort zones to adopt their new habitat but they change themselves piece by piece. Does that people still remain the person they were before? Or the soul has left their body and a new one lives there now?
I'm unsure as the only times I've been exposed to the cultures and people I don't agree with have been quite brief so to speak. So they have been quite educational and taught me to be more tolerant of others. While that being said it also makes me less than qualified to judge this theory about those who moved out, changed or are changing in their new habitat. Food for thought, ain't it? Lemme know how you feel about it and as always...
Have a good one, Folks!
