That's a good metaphor. Metaphor? Analogy? IDK.But yeah, it was a little harder for me to grasp the horror of it the first time I read this because I don't believe in the soul as such.I think what you have to do as you read is kind of work out what you can equate a daemon to…the idea of it being not necessary to LIVE, but such a vital part of your personality that cutting it away would destroy the person you are – yeah, the lobotomy comparison works well. |
