Heraclitus Fragments 130-139: Len's Completion and Faux Translation

Fragment 130:

There is nothing intuitive about one who
thinks he knows something about infinity

Fragment 131:

Opportunity exists for those seeking a
real purpose in all things materially real

Fragment 132:

Infinity welcomes careful drivers but shuns
cosmic misfits riding on astral buffalos

Fragment 133:

Distance decreases the need for an actual
human relation when the phone is plugged in

Fragment 134:

What we don’t know in particular is if the
question without a meaningful answer has
to be considered a meaningful question
to be asked in the first place

Fragment 135:

You can’t speak with any certainty about what
happened just before you arrived on the scene
but you’re more than likely to invent the story
now

Fragment 136:

If it takes the universe an eternity
to cool to absolute zero then it was in
absolute harmony we were given tempers

Fragment 137:

Rumor or observation will clarify that
this isn’t really an official party-line

Fragment 138:

Fire climbs down hill, while mountains reach for the sky, trees
stand stoic, rivers run long, and man, man is here
and then suddenly gone.

Fragment 139:

Free will is a risk often taken and unknown.
