Shakespeare meant that world is a place to showcase your talents

[@futto585]

No, he meant that the world is a stage (He wrote this poem in the play "As You Like It") which he meant that the world is LIKE a stage as on a stage people do plays etc and when he contrasts and compares the stage to life, he means that people(Characters of the Play) come and play their part in the bivouc of life (Stage) and when their part is done, they go away (die) and then more people enter and they simply go away too. Btw nice guess.

'It's raining cats and dogs' is a saying from an old wives tale from when thatched houses were prominant, where dogs and especially cats would sleep on the beams and in rafters untill it rained, leaked through and startled them from thier slumber causing them to fall from the roof. 🤣

Understanding philosophy is hard because there are little or no metaphors, analogies, references are provided into philosophical texts.

[@dr.sumanmondal]

Where i found metaphorically explanation of every word or which dictionary or book helpful to read metaphorically language sir please help me, like this
1)“Cold feet”=to be too fearful to undertake or complete an action. A wave of timidity or fearfulness. Loss or lack of courage or confidence.
2)“Coition”=physical or mental satisfaction like a children's play video games this is coition here video game play is mental or physical satisfaction.
3)“Mother”=Protector who give protection.
4)“spoon”=use served for food like who help our work, sick condition, social position etc.
5)“poor”= mean short of something power, energy, health etc
6)“shoulder”=mean responsibility

The danish national linguistics counsel did something rather brave. They said: We are done with this argument so we hereby declare similes and metaphors to be the same damn thing, and we all lived happily ever after.

@Natrual Law Tnx but it's too late for now and it's still great tho. :)

[@mrh9672]

Idioms, anyone? Raining cats and dogs isn't a metaphor. Neither is elephant in the room. Music to my ears. Broke my heart. Chewed my ear off. Stabbed in the back. Costs an arm and a leg. Under the weather. ... Idioms. Different thing. Shame, too - the first half of the video was excellent! The clearest I've found on the topic...

[@AimeeShattock]

Mr H you’re right; it’s indeed an idiom, not a metaphor. This was made a few years ago now, so much like my other videos, it could use some tweaks. Thanks for spotting it.

[@SonuKumar-uz8wq]

please help me to highlight the line which represent metaphor in this poem.........
The roads are empty, the crowds too small,
And no trace of life outside, none at all.
Every human is locked up in their house,
And the sunny play ground, now looks bleak.
Why does our wide world look so desolate now?
What a silly question, even a toddler would have the answer.
Cause, there’s a monster out there,
That can make even breathing like hell.
It is tinier than our cells, but it is causing a huge pandemic,
If it enters your body, it may wreak havoc.
Coughs or sneezes are like its private jet,
And to your lungs, it’s a threat.
We, who always chat and dine in groups,
Now prefer to stay away,
And with a mask on our mouths,
St at home straight away.
Nobody’s going to school anymore,
No child playing in the park,
Nobody’s even opening the door,
Except for grocery or stock.
We used to giggle and play
On our swings and slide,
Now, we’re caged in our homes,
As Corona gambols outside.
I used to pity my dolls, trapped on the shelves,
Now, I really don’t know why,
As to me, it’s a privilege
To even bask in sunlight these days.
We, who are social animals,
Now dread the door bell.
Sadly, we are told to see,
Every visitor as an unwelcome virus.
When can we really be free?
When can we stick our heads out?
When will the dawn arrive?
Come on, let us await that day.

[@AimeeShattock]

What a great poem! The 'monster' is definitely metaphorical. There isn't literally a giant monster/creature; it's a metaphor for the virus which has wreaked havoc on our lives as if it was a monster.
