Metaphors of Life 4-4-13
Weird right? You don't get it do you? Have you ever read the book "A Fault in Our Stars?" It's an amazing book by John Green. It's simply about a girl who is living with cancer and the people that she encounters. This guy, Augustus, does this thing with a cigarette where he puts an unlit one in his mouth. His reasoning is that "You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do the killing." It's all a metaphor. I don't always get metaphors in life. Sometimes they seem way to deep for my inferior brain to understand. Maybe I just don't get things like that. Anyways... you should read it. There are some very amazing insights too. Speaking of which:
