.Metaphor is a way of transferring meaning and understanding of one thing to another. This allows us to maximize learning. Once we recognize similarity and interrelatedness between two things, all we have to do is understand the first thing and then we can understand the second thing more easily and more quickly.
Parable means compare-able. This means two things can be paired for understanding of their common and/or uncommon aspects (compare/contrast). These aspects can then be used to teach lessons about one thing, through another thing. A parable is a shortened way to say comparable. A parable is presented as a brief saying” or short story.
Metaphor and parable are one and the same thing. They are ways of knowing.
We make and use comparisons all day everyday; thus, our daily thought processes are filled with metaphors and parables.
