Metaphor

'I was authentic' he claimed. Emotions were showing their faces with every word he pronounced. 'This is me, and this is how it is!'.

- 'So tell me, what would happen if it didn't happen?'

'What are you talking about? You do not know what you are talking about! Stop freaking me out! I do not need your mind games!'. He was agitated, to the point where it ate his long sighted awareness.

- 'It all changes, with your awareness. The language, their meanings, the words, the attachment to the feeling u once felt. They are not permanent, and being fixated by them will imprison you.'

'What? Language is common, we all use it and we all know what these words mean! How else would we communicate, how else would I tell you how I feel?!'

- 'Though if I tell you how I feel, will you be able to really feel how I feel? With all the fine sensations it brings, the physical feelings, the qualitative aspect completely subjectively interpreted by myself. Will you know exactly how I feel?'

'Well, I can guess.. If you tell me, I will understand what you mean'

- 'So you will understand the concept of the word which describes my feeling?

'Well.. yes, but no matter, I will be able to see how you feel.'

- 'And tell me, who created this concept? The concept which the word describes?'

'Well... its obvious. Everybody knows what a concept behind a word describes! On the end when I feel something I use a word to explain it... It's quite linear, simple.'

- 'But your feelings aren't linear, they aren't numbers. Do you understand now why we use metaphors? We avoid the faculty of reason and appeal to the emotions inside you. You paint a picture listening to a metaphor and your sensations appear automatically. You don't need to dumb them down. You feel them.That is the beauty of a metaphor.'
