Metaphor is a device that enables us to explain complex matters with reference to simpler objects or concepts and to provide us with cognitive structures to reason about those complex issues in a novel and creative way. Metaphors serve a stylistic, aesthetic, and argumentative function in communication and are therefore omnipresent in public speech and discourse and used as a powerful tool by writers, journalists, scientists, politicians, managers, psychologists, and each of us.
