Can you please explain this to me in a simpler way. Thank you
Metaphors are used to help us understand the unknown, because we use what we know in comparison with something we don't know to get a better understanding of the unknown.

Metaphors compare the unknown to the known.
metaphors are used to relate something we don't know to something we do. we use them all the time.
"Life is a journey" would be an example of a metaphor. I'm comparing the concept of life to something I'm already familiar with.
