A metaphor holds value
Not because of its accuracy

Believing metaphor to be accurate
Is folly and leads to myth
Which leads to attachment to ideals
Leading to a clouded mind
Leading to chaos

A metaphor holds value
In its unraveling
In the seeking to understand
Through an open mind
Inaccuracies are revealed
New truths are found

The gain is the act of doing
The opening of your mind
