One Word Metaphor

by Paul on October 19, 2009

101On Andrew Sullivan’s “Daily Dish” blog for The Atlantic Magazine I found the following:

StrategyOne polled Americans (n=1,000 telephone survey) October 9-12, 2009 with the following question:

“People often use metaphors to describe their life… Which ONE of the following do you think best describes your life?”

A Journey: 51%
A Battle: 11%
The Seasons: 10%
A Novel: 8%
A Race: 6%
A Live Performance, Like a Play: 5%
A Carousel: 4%
Other: 2%
Unsure: 2%

Are you a “journey” person or do you have another word to describe your life?  I think I’m on a quest.
