If I were on the side of Parmenides, I would argue that no human actually changes -- although the way we act or the way we look may change throughout our lives, we are still the same person. In this way, nothing has actually changed. Even though a river continues to flow, it is still a river. Essentially, the matter of it remains permanent. It is the same with our bodies, too. We’re made of the same matter throughout time. Also, our identities remain permanent. I’ll always be Mora, even if I physically (or even mentally) change.
