About the Author:
Luther Reads agrees with the definition for "forgive" that G**gle displayed, which was "to stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake." And no, I don't have a good reason for not naming G**gle directly. Fuck 'em! That's why.

Metaphorically Speaking
by Luther Reads
"When I was a kid, I thought quicksand would be a much bigger problem."
That's the text of a meme that comically rings true to me and so many others who grew up in the 80s and 90s. It was the TV shows, right? Quicksand was everywhere, and I watched with great concern, hoping to learn what to do and what not to do in preparation for the inevitable day when I would have to be rescued, or rescue someone else, from quicksand.
Fast forward 30 years, and I haven't come across any quicksand. Sadly, I probably never will. But I now accept that the quicksand was a metaphor for the very real struggles that we face in life. Quicksand can come out of nowhere, just like so many of life's problems. You need help from a friend to get out of quicksand. Need I say more?
These are just some of the many lessons that quicksand, as a metaphor, can help us to understand.
Oh, the stories in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible are also metaphors.
