I mean, how do we get out of the mindset that everything is a metaphor for something else?
I tried reading a book, but the story was a metaphor for part of my life.
I tried playing sports, but that was a metaphor for life itself.
I tried watching Jerry Springer, but that was a metaphor for everything that was wrong with life.
I tried having lunch, but then I sat down with a vegetarian, and everything became a metaphor for religious/cultural differences.
I tried having sex, but that became a metaphor for the battle between the Apollonian and the Dionysian.
I tried asking a question on Yahoo!(r) Answers, but that became a metaphor for making metaphors.
Help!
