With today's massive engines for research taking us to the heart of everything that exists, it has become the easiest thing to do. In the diagram below, one can observe the conventional approach to this dilemma for explanation, however, today, we will be discussing the newest methods and so we only present this image as a point of reference for those who might be unfamiliar with the subject of today's topic.
Casting aside the conventions of Umbra and Penumbra, we will insert new iconic images with words that we all speak. Another unconventional direction we will use is that of metaphoric pressure. Symbolism, after all, is an age-old device for helping your audience to conjure up images that help convey your message even as you are telling it.
Let's use a business model for this next portion. Let's say that you have a business, and for the sake of argument, we'll call it "Loona," after it's founder's nickname, "Little Looney." In place of Umbra and Penumbra, we'll plug in the terms "Abra," and "Cadabra." Now we have all the pieces in place, let me demonstrate:
Abra, that glory-grabbing, back-stabbing goober that works on the east side of the partition that separates your desk from his (Oh yeah, did I mention that this story is told in second person insinuative?) has apparently partnered up with Cadabra, who has been gathering false reports and tucking them under the cover of your, formerly magnificent report, just before the big meeting.
So now, after having enjoyed an impressive stint as the company founder and chairman, you suddenly find yourself "abracadabra'd" out of your position and reduced to the title of "Chief Communications Officer" and, to make matters worse, your connections on the LinkedIn Network see this as an opportunity to "congratulate" you on this new position. This, my friend, is how a Lunar Eclipse occurs! And you ask me why I'm salty!
