Character and Fate
It would be a better world if what Heraclitus said were true, but it certainly appears that good people can suffer terrible fates and vice versa.
This brings to mind the ultimate destiny of Donald Trump, certainly among the worst human beings in our history. People all around the globe are hoping to see him go down hard.
The people that need “to go down hard” — are the people that backed him, backed him in the present, and will continue to back him.
If no one was following him — he would be “the piece of trash that he is”.
