Anaximander (n.) passing ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠away is penance — things must return to their source according to necessity, paying for their injustices in accordance with the ordinance of time.

Anaximander (n.) says ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠that things must perish into the place from which they arose, by necessity, since they must do penance and be judged for their injustices, according to the order of time.

Anaximander (n.) infers ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠that what truly is cannot have definite qualities, or it would come into being and pass away, so primal being has to be indefinite in order that coming-to-be never ceases.

Anaximander (n.) saw ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠in the multiplicity of things a sum of injustices to be expiated — and with that he grasped the tangle of the profoundest problem in ethics.

Anaximander (n.) lived ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠as he wrote, moving as if existence were a tragic drama in which he was born to play the hero; his fellow citizens honoured him by sending him off to lead a colony.
