Metaphors We Live By

It was interesting to me how they compared 'argument is war' to 'argument is a dance'. If that was how the saying goes, there would indeed be very different actions and thoughts to arguments. It was interesting to think about. I also like how they broke down how war is a metaphor to arguments. Dissecting the metaphor really shows how they relate using th literalness of war. It was also cool looking at the break down of 'time is money'. The two definitely relate in many ways- and I found it true that most people believe this in American culture. It'd be interesting to hear the view on that phrase from someone outside this culture.
