Two metaphors to begin:
You know there is a story about this guy who thought he was a chicken. People talked to his relatives, and they said, “Gee, why don’t you get this guy into some counseling or some therapy and try and help him get through this obsession about being a chicken.” And the relatives said, “We would, but we need the eggs.”
