"Ocean water is  a complex solution of mineral salts and of decayed biologic matter that results from the teeming life in the seas. Most of the ocean's salts were derived from gradual processes such the breaking up of the cooled igneous rocks of the Earth's crust by weathering and erosion, the wearing down of mountains, and the dissolving action of rains and streams which transported their mineral washings to the sea. Some of the ocean's salts have been dissolved from rocks and sediments below its floor. Other sources of salts include the solid and gaseous materials that escaped from the Earth's crust through volcanic vents or that originated in the atmosphere."

Reminds me of the zen saying about a finger pointing at the moon:\n\n"All instruction is but a finger pointing to the moon;\n and those whose gaze is fixed upon the pointer will \nnever see beyond." \n\nor another metaphor is the Simile of the Raft: \n\n" Similarly, the teachings should not be seen as ends in themselves but as a means to an end. The Buddha likens the Dhamma to a raft: 'I shall show you how the Dhamma is similar to a raft, being for the purpose of crossing over, not for the purpose of grasping'.\n\nHe describes a situation where someone needs to cross 'a great expanse' of water but there is no bridge or ferryboat to get across. So, he decides to build himself a raft and in this way gets to the 'further shore'. He might then say to himself that because this raft has been so helpful to him he should carry it on his head wherever he goes. Or he might decide to put it back into the water and let it go.\n\nThe Buddha points out that it would be foolish for the man to carry the raft around with him - it has served its purpose and is no longer necessary.\n\nIn this simile, the expanse of water is samsara, the circle of birth and death, the place of dukkha or suffering. The raft is the Buddha's teaching and the 'further shore' is Nibbana or Nirvana.\n\nIn short, by using these two similes, the Buddha asks us to orient ourselves appropriately to his teachings. Through them he offers us a vehicle which will bring an end to suffering. What we musn't do is use them in the wrong way...as a means, for example, of scoring intellectual or moral points over others."

How Do I Solve an Analogy?\n\nSolving analogies is a terrific way to sharpen your thinking skills and prepare for standardized tests. An analogy is a type of word problem that consists of two word pairs, like the following example:\n\nGRACEFUL : CLUMSY :: HOT: _______\n\nFind a word that correctly completes the second pair. At first glance, the words in an analogy may seem to have nothing to do with each other, but the words are always logically related. The first pair of words has a relationship similar to the second pair of words. To solve the analogy, you need to figure out that relationship.\n\nRead the analogy like this:\n\n"Graceful is to clumsy as hot is to 'blank.'"\n\nAsk yourself: What's the relationship between graceful and clumsy? These words are antonyms -- they have opposite meanings -- so the second pair of words must also be antonyms. Fill in the blank with a word that means the opposite of "hot", and you've solved the analogy. The best answer is "COLD." If you find an unfamiliar word in an analogy, use a dictionary to check its meaning.\n\nCommon Analogy Types\n\nIn addition to antonyms, the word pairs in an analogy often have one of the following types of relationships:\n\n* Synonyms: Words that have the same or similar meanings, as in\nUNHAPPY : SAD\n\n*Antonyms: Words that have opposite meanings, as in OPEN : CLOSED\n\n* Descriptive: One word describes the other word, as in\nFAST : CHEETAH\n\n* Part to whole (or whole to part): One word is a part or piece of the other, as in\nPIECE : PUZZLE\n\n* Item to category: One word names an item that falls into the group named by the other word, as in BASEBALL : SPORTS BALLS\n\nHere's another example:\n\nPUPPY : DOG :: KITTEN : _______\n\nThe analogy is read: "Puppy is to dog as kitten is to 'blank.'" The first pair of words is not related in any of the ways listed above. Try reading the analogy as a sentence that expresses the relationships between the words: "A puppy is a young dog, as a kitten is a young. . ."? "CAT" is the best answer.

The Seven Seas is a figurative term referring to all the seas and oceans of the world. Some folks will tell you the seven seas are the Arctic, the Antarctic, the North and South Pacific, the North and the South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean. But the term was never meant to be taken literally.\nThe phrase was popularized by Rudyard Kipling who used it as the title of a volume of poems first published in 1896. Kipling himself said the term might be regarded as referring to the seven oceans (named above) even though it was a very old figurative name for all the waters of the world.\nThe Seven Seas was part of the vernacular of several nations long before some of the oceans named were known to the inhabitants of Europe and Asia. The Seven Seas are referred to in the literature of the ancient Hindus, Chinese, Persians, Romans and other nations. In each case, the term simply referred to different bodies of water. Sometimes it even referred to mythical seas. To the Persians, the Seven Seas were the streams forming the Oxus River; the Hindus used the term for the bodies of water in the Punjab. There is a group of salt-water lagoons near Venice, Italy, that the Romans called septem maria, the Latin phrase for Seven Seas.\nAnd don't forget, seven is a pretty special number. The world was formed in seven days. There are seven wonders of the world, seven deadly sins, seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, seven hills of Rome, seventh heaven and don't forget Mark McGwire hit 70 home runs this year. Some even consider seven a perfect number.\nWho am I to disagree?\n\nHowever here is a list of the "seven seas" given by various people of various times and of experts of different fields.\n\nMany experts and encyclopedias will list the modern Seven Seas as the: \n\nArctic \nAntarctic \nNorth and South Atlantic \nNorth and the South Pacific \nand the Indian Ocean \n\nDuring the Age of Discovery (1450-1650), some list the Seven Seas as the then seven navigable seas of the world: \n\nAtlantic \nArctic \nIndian \nand Pacific Oceans \nand the \nMediterranean Sea, \nthe Caribbean Sea, \nand the Gulf of Mexico \n\nWhile others disagree and report the ancient Seven Seas to be the: \n\nMediterranean Sea \nRed Sea \nBlack Sea \nAdriatic Sea \nCaspian Sea \nand the \nPersian Gulf \nand the Indian Ocean

The seas, ocaena, rivers, and lakes of the world are all composed of similar material to different degrees. For example the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean all have different amounts of salt in them. When the Panama canal was built a division between the regions was seen. Not so much with eyes but with equipment. True, those who named regions of water may not have had any idea that they were slightly different but they are. On a ship it'll be pretty hard to tell which ocean you're in if you awoke from a concussion and just stared out at sea. Maritime borders are only used as a political tool. Every second some of teh ATlantic mixes with the Pacific and vice versa.

Correct! Although the case you mention is a simile, metaphors can be more elaborate and include 'like', such as -- comparing life to something else.
