The Best Analogy Ever (Part 2)

The best analogy ever has to be “activation energy.”  Of course, as described earlier, activation energy is a real thing too but as an analogy it is as ubiquitous as a concentration gradient in a cell.  The expression can take many forms but in the end it all comes down to indicating the little extra push that results in a chain reaction and a big impact. Activation energy can be dished out as a swift kick in the pants or accumulated as a boulder is pushed toward the precipice of a hill.  It can be the spark that lights a fire in you or the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
