Classical World View: Quest for the First Principle

The Western Philosophies in Classical or Ancient era had gone after the quest for the ‘First Principles’. Philosophers had discussed about several elements which were supposed to originate the existence of earth with. That quest had begun from first philosopher in western World, Thales of Ionia (636-546 BC) who was one of the pre-Socratic philosophers, till the time of Aristotle (4^th Century BC). These classical or Greek philosophers are often tagged as natural philosophers with their supposition of natural things or world to be the fundamental elements.

The first philosopher to make the quest is Thales of Ionia. He started to talk about natural concept destroying divine and mythological concepts. Argumentative method for philosophy was developed. Thales claimed that everything in this world is made up of water because everything come with moisture. He created the metaphysics. He even believed that the earth floats in water. Seeds of everything have got some sort of moist in it which is the element of water. 

“ Oh Sweet Lorraine”- Oldest Man to Break the Record for Top 100 Billboard Chart

Oldest Man Ever to hit the Billboard Top 100 Charts 

“Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.” 
                                                                                                                                                                       ― Taylor Swift 

I still remember love Story singer Taylor Swift saying this quote.  BUT, what made me to feel really astonished today is the love story of 96 years old Fred Stobough penning for his deceased wife (75).

Music is the universal language and now it has been comprehended by this nonagenarian.

A retired truck driver Mr Stobough penned this lyrics for his passed wife-Lorraine.

Jacob Colgan, Musician, (Green Shoe Recording Studio) made it through to stay in Top 100 of Billboard.

He knocked Tony Bennett, previous oldest star.

Here is the heart breaking song "Oh Sweet Lorraine"

 

“ Oh Sweet Lorraine” Lyrics 

Oh Sweet Lorraine

I wish we could do
The good times
All over again
Life only goes around
Once
But never again
I wish we could do
All the good times all over
Again
Linger on
Oh sweet Lorraine
The memories will
Always linger on
The memories will
Always linger on

Oh sweet Lorraine

Oh sweet Lorraine

My memories will always
