    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.
