Metaphors assignment

Well, after reading the first two assigned chapters of Metaphors We Live By, I realized a few new things about metaphors. I knew already that metaphors were important to society and people, But never really thought about how thoroughly ingrained it is into our society and even just our own thought processes. The writer gave good example of this in just how we relate "argument is war" and how it would be totally odd to us to encounter a people/society that thought of argument as a dance.  So it was an intersting read, and brought to focus the severe importance of how metaphors are ingrained in society and human system of thought.
