How we experience the world around us and our own bodies varies from person to person. One debate surrounding our perception, is about the use of metaphors and how they impact our health-mentally and physically. Through our class discussions, we’ve seen and analyzed various views on metaphor and their impact on society and individuals. On one side of the debate, metaphors negatively impact our life and the choices we make. But on the other side, metaphors can change the way we think and allow us to better ourselves and lives based off of an “old saying”. Instead of having an either-view, I believe that metaphors impacting our life is more of a situational circumstance. Depending on who the individual is and what the life is, metaphors can make or break it.
