>This man had raised a philosophical hypothesis which was called 'The Unity of Opposites'.
Interestingly enough, I can see how it works:
Once you curb the fears or things you assume to be great inconveniences, they not only become invisible as problems, but they eventually form into a part of your lifestyle and your daily life which you take for granted.

Plato gives an example in Phaedo. Socrates has his foot in pain from a tightened chain. When the chain is released he rubs his foot and feels relief and pleasure.
Another example is how dead things produce new life via natural cycles.
Heraclitus own example was that the path up a hill is the same as the path down a hill depending on your perspective.
Things naturally produce their opposite, this is what keeps things in constant flux.

You can more easily see how it works with his concept of fire. A "warm body" is only warm to a cold body; they define each other, are eternally connected. A fire will grow and spread where it may, and then eventually fizzle out — life returns to death eventually. But like the eternally returning seasons, after death, comes the life of something new, etc.
