What do you think??? To what would you vote for?? Metaphorical or Literal!!! I would rather select metaphorical!!! Every thing when its taken from it’s literal sense it can be too harsh and to simple. But when its metaphorical you can say that harsh thing in a very nice way but its more effective. But then again every one do not get metaphors. Most of the people this world prefer things to be straight forward!! they don’t want to put much thought in to things that people say about them or people say when they talk in day today life. They just want to get it from it’s literal sense and digest it.
But how ever there are some people who always talk metaphorical language. They always tell what they want in a very awkward way which makes the listener to think about it and grasp it. I would say we remember metaphorical dialogues than literal dialogues. When we talk with another person if he keeps on telling his ideas literally then we will understand it then and there and we will forget it very soon as we don’t put much thought in to them. But how ever if he speak metaphors or in other words if he or she doesn’t say the things he want to say directly but instead f that if he use metaphorical language the things he say will be there in our minds for more time because we think about what he told in order to grasp the real meaning for his words. There fore as we concentrate more on that we remember that for more time.
I being a debater, orator and a future diplomat(my ambition) thinks that the metaphorical language is relay useful as well as relay effective in order to tell the “nastiest things in the nicest way”.
What we should learn is how to speak to a person politely and at the same time how to speak to his heart and the brain. For me the only way to do that is to use metaphorical language which will talk to his brain as well as the heart in a very polite way.
How ever even though i am admirer of metaphorical language I my self prefer people making sense by the words they speak in other words i prefer people talking literal language because it’s easy for me to understand as well as it easy to reply for those things.
Last but not least what i have to say is that we should not mix these two but should use both of the in a balanced manner!!! Speak to your friend metaphorically!! the time will be closer for you to get a slap from him!!!
