📍 When wisdom fades, and history’s cycles repeat
Empedocles was a philosopher and poet, a thinker who saw the world not as a series of random events but as a continuous interplay between the four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. To him, life and death were cyclical phenomena, with the forces of love and strife alternating, creating and destroying everything. His philosophy was one of balance, cosmic cycles that guided existence. He saw beyond the moment, the fleeting concerns of his era, into the vast, repeating patterns of the universe. He understood that civilizations rise and fall, that pursuing power often leads to its downfall, and that humanity is doomed to repeat past errors without reflection.
