Power of Analogy

People complain about the complecity of our society. In every field of the society, things run according to various rules. yet they are still interrelated with each other. In philosophy, we have learned that links between things in the world always exist. this is kind of truth. links are objective, and they hardly change with the changes of people's likings.
You see, we can draw an analogy between an qrgumentation article and a hamburger, between a soccer team and a company, etc. I had written an article in which I compared my well of knowledge with a piece of newspaper. some classmates thought that was creative. I have always liked the idea of comparison. it makes me feel that the world is not as complecated as it seems to be. we can always find similarities among different things. we have different perspectives to look at different fields of the society. or maybe there are similar ways to comprehend things which may appear to have nothing to do with each other.
I like this learning method very much!
