Metaphors We Live By On Really Bad Days

LIFE IS A JOURNEY ON WHICH YOU ARE HOPELESSLY LOST
LUST IS AN INEFFECTUAL FORCE
AN ARGUMENT IS A MASSACRE
A THEORY IS A PILE OF RUBBLE
KNOWING IS HALLUCINATING
LOVE IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
A RELATIONSHIP IS A WORK OF DADAIST ART

I'd offer prizes for those who could identify all of the original conceptual metaphors, but I'm still working on regyt's prize.
