F. Scott Fitzgerald, Metaphor

Metaphor #1 – Convictions

It’s Metaphor Week at the NDD!  First, a definition. A metaphor is a direct claim that
A is X.  A simile is similar, but it says A is like X, not A is X.
………………………..
Want to stay young at heart?  Have not only the courage of your convictions, but the courage to explore them thoroughly.

Offering #3 in The Napkin Dad’s Guide to Manners

It is still rude, however. But when someone is rude to you it isn’t that they are judging you. Their rudeness proves they are judging those they have battled before.  Those who hurt them, fooled them, laughed at them, were rude to them.  Those who denigrated, belittled, betrayed, and otherwise disappointed and hurt the person’s hopes, desires and expectations.  Rudeness is their way of battling back.  


It feels good to be rude sometimes. It’s satisfying, like you got someone back.  But of course, the problem is you usually don’t get the right person back and, even if you do, you don’t end up being satisfied in the long run.


Better to stop the chain of rudeness and be nice, ok?  That’s easy enough, isn’t it?


By the way – I know they don’t look like very realistic tongues. But that race of skinny headed people have giant lozenge-like tongues.  I checked.
