We discuss examples of metaphorical truths in the context of sports and survival, and consider how these concepts can be applied to our daily lives. We also examine the role of religion in providing guidance for living in the present moment, and future generations. Ultimately, we consider the importance of understanding and embracing the power of metaphorical truths.
