I found it very interesting when they mention about how arguements are somehow re rooted twards war. Like our conversations/arguments or the way we use are words are related to war. I have even used the concepts either when i have been angry or when i have been in some sort of conflict with another person or explaining to a friend about how I feel about something.. Like the first chapter mentions it becomes or has become so common for us to talk that way that we dont even think about it any more.
As the book says our language is metaphorically structured and i agree with that. They proved it to me by giving examples of conflict with concepts of both war and language. Becuase we automatically defend and attack the other person. Now most of the time this does not happen physically its all mentally. The book gives some great examples.
