It’s sound. The water might be going the same way, but speed, depth, and contents are constantly changing. Sure, you can cross a constructed bridge everyday and nothing changes.
This is actually crossing a river, on foot, wagon, horse, etc. It’s always changing.
I would also argue the bridge is ever changing as well. It has different vehicles crossing it, every tire wears the surface, the materials expand and contract with temperature, the structure weathers continuously.
Just because one doesn’t notice, doesn’t mean something doesn’t change.
Philosophically, it really all boils down to the only thing that exists is the present. The past doesn’t exist, the future doesn’t exist. The only thing that is real is what is happening in this very moment.
The river is not the same as when you crossed it this morning, neither is the bridge. It is only as it exists now, and it will never exist in this same way at any other time.
As so is life. Just shows you the moment is now and everything after this one moment in time will be different. Even though sometimes it does feel the same.
Also makes you think of the past and what has gone. Like thinking back about a missed meeting, deadline, or embarrassing moment. That time is forever gone and will never return. So why live in it? Charge ahead and be excited for the future.
