Journal Entry 5 Metaphor of an idea

My very own interpretation of an idea metaphor is "freshly baked pie". This metaphor would mean that the resultant conclusion is fresh, and brand new, it is also hot to handle and hence an idea. Through extending this metaphor, objects that are newly created, yet does not have to be a new idea, can be a metaphor of an idea. Information becomes an object, yet do not represent an idea, images that are fresh like water, and hot to handle like oven, are ideas in relation to this metaphor. Hence the sub categories of ideas that relate to the metaphor are "water, food and heat". Suprisingly enough, there are contradictory elements in one metaphor itself. The elements of water and fire, both contained within the metaphor of an idea.
