The pilot research in this paper is about the interconnections of metaphors about Enemy and about Friend with metaphors about the subject of the life line of adult persons. Within the framework of this selection, metaphors about the subject of the life line of adult persons are different. Metaphor with different intensity of the subject position, of the authorship of the own life line are discovered by us. Accentuation of the authorship of the life line is connected with polarization of appreciations of the Enemy and of the Friend and with the strengthening of positive features of the Friend image and of negative features of the Enemy image. Metaphors with low intensity of borders between the person and his social environment are connected with the ambivalent images of Enemy and of Friend, with the attribution of positive and negative features to the Enemy and to the Friend.
