That’s where metaphor and analogy come in: With an apt comparison, you can familiarizethe unknown, simplifythe complex, revealnew twists in the straightforward, and refinehard-to-see differences. You can digyourself out of a hole; you can moldperception before it sets against you. The well-chosen metaphor focusesunderstanding instead of allowing it to diffuse.
