Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, everyday life can feel boring and predictable because we see the same things over and over. A metaphor, which is a way of describing something by comparing it to something else, helps us see the world in a new and interesting way. For example, saying "time is a thief" makes us think about how quickly time can pass, almost like it is stealing moments from us. This use of metaphor helps us understand time in a deeper, more impactful way. To apply this to your own life, use creative descriptions to think differently about your daily experiences. Instead of seeing a tough situation as just a problem, think of it as a mountain you are climbing, which can make the process feel more like an adventure than a burden.
