The article deals with the idea of the drive toward the formation of metaphors, which comes from the essay „On Truth and Lies in an Extra-Moral Sense”, written by Friedrich Nietzsche in 1873. My thesis is that the rush to metaphor is necessary for the sense of happiness. By using the drive toward the formation of metaphors, humani-ty created the whole world of concepts. Because of that, the drive toward the formation of metaphors needs an-other channel for its activity. It finds this in myth and in art. Myth (generated by drive toward the formation of metaphors) today, as unlike in Ancient Greece, which is mentioned by Nietzsche, is forced to act more secretly. Two of its manifestations are the social networking service Facebook and the phenomenon of celebrities. My argument to prove the thesis is a thought experiment, which I called „schedule of life”. An example of a "schedule of life" is the case of a prisoner sentenced to death.
