본문내용

Ancient philosopher Thales said the most fundamental element of the world is water. Every creature gains energy from water; they sustain their lives by drinking it. Thales thought, for these reasons, water is the very initial element that constitutes the whole world, because such element would infuse vitality to every matter. Of course now we know that the world consists of a myriad of elements, water is, however, still an essential source for our survival, and also it resembles our cycle of life; just think about how versatile water is. Water easily transforms from one form to another, giving up one state to throw itself to another; just like what people do every day with their decision making. That is why the image of water is often borrowed in various genres of literature to symbolize certain characteristics to effectively express the theme.
