    Wasn’t that what this was saying?

        The image part is a metaphor for life, like the title suggested.

        Yes, because it is a metaphor.

          A flawed one - because life doesn’t stop in an emergency… You know - the thing people were saying.

          …Or do you think metaphors have magical reality-warping powers?

            First you don’t understand a metaphor and then you take it literally.

            Metaphors are not literal truths, they are metaphors

              Metaphors aren’t literal, but they are descriptive. Describing something that doesn’t stop as something that stops is a bad metaphor.

              “Hair of midnight” is a metaphor, but not one you’d use to describe a blonde.

              This isn’t complex.
