infatuation
"Infatuation is like a shiny new pair of dress shoes, where as love is the comfy old sneakers you've had for years"
"Infatuation is like the preview to a movie, you can get an idea of what the film could be like but it could still go any way. Love is the movie, the ups the downs, the ins the outs... the whole enchilada."
"Infatuation is like a virus, you get over it. Love is terminal"
"Love is something created by God and is a good thing. But beware! Something called INFATUATION is looking to fool you into thinking it's REAL LOVE. But INFATUATION is like that copy of the $100,000 bill. It's a counterfeit that is worth nothing in comparison to God's love."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
