We all need help sometimes to understand or communicate complex ideas. There are lots of tools we can use to do that, and metaphors are among the most powerful. A metaphor indirectly compares one thing to another, implying that they share similar characteristics. To the extent the comparison is valid, it can help us understand the newly introduced concept.
Metaphors also affect our way of looking at a situation – once we define a comparison, we tend to think in those terms. This can either serve us or hurt us.
