Me: there’s a fire in my house! Please abolish it!
Fireman: Ok, we’re ready! What are you going to replace it with?
Me: what
Fireman: The fire. What are you going to replace it with? Fire has a purpose, you know, you can’t just remove it. The combustion that powers your car engine, that’s fire. And the fire in my woodstove heats my house and keeps my family warm. Fire is doing what it’s supposed to be doing, and in the correct place, at the correct time.
Me: It’s destroying my home. Please abolish it.
Fireman: Do you even know what fire is LOL fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in a self-sustaining chemical reaction, do you REALLY think you can just abolish that? Do you even know what you’re talking about?
Me: I’m fine with it existing just not in my house right now.
House: destroyed
Fireman: Why didn’t you give me a valid replacement??? We could have helped you.
From the article: “…identify hidden similarities between two different ideas. Metaphors are usually meant to create a likeness or an analogy”
This is why education is important :)
You truely don’t see how dumb you are, and now I just feel bad.
Don’t know if you were home schooled or what, (that would explain your weird boner for accusing others of not being properly educated) but when you are the only one pointing out your own ignorance, I don’t think it’s fair to keep egging you on.
Have a good one.
