"La realidad es un cliché del que escapamos por medio de la metáfora."

Simplified Meaning:
Our everyday experiences can quickly become routine and boring, like cliches. Think about how daily tasks, like going to work or school, often feel repetitive and dull. Sometimes, we need something to help us see things differently and make life more interesting. Metaphors can do this by comparing familiar things to new ideas, offering fresh perspectives. For example, if someone describes their busy day as a "storm," it helps capture the chaos more vividly than just saying they were busy. By using metaphors, we can break free from the monotony of daily life and understand our experiences in a richer, more meaningful way. This approach encourages creative thinking and can make ordinary moments feel special.
