A simile in the first person singular is art; in the first person plural it's politics; in the second person it's philosophy, in the third person it's journalism. Observe:
I am just like a fly trapped in a jar.
We are just like flies trapped in a jar.
You are just like a fly trapped in a jar.
They are just like flies trapped in a jar.
