David Krakauer: "Do you have a favorite model or metaphor for #time?"

@JamesGleick: "You've already mentioned a river; that's everybody's favorite. Borges said time is a tiger. People talk about it as a thread. We ONLY talk about time in metaphors." Image

Wisdom of #Aphorisms & #Metaphors (A&M)-

There is a lot of nuanced interpretation in A&Ms. They have contextual inferences. Often, on a stand alone basis, they give an incomplete picture and one needs to look at the context & the larger picture in which they are applicable...
Also, often there are a set of A&Ms which are contradictory. In spite of the contradiction, they are both right. Again, one needs to understand the context and larger picture to go beyond the superficial prima facie contradiction.
It is one thing to know these A&Ms, and totally other to understand the nuances.

In due course of time, I intend to append a lot of examples to illustrate this.
