I had attempted to refresh my perception of concept riding the pendulum. I understand there is a significant accomplishment in being able to move it at will to where you want to be. I have attempted to describe this process to others in the exact metaphor being used as a swinging pendulum swaying back and forth. Although, for one reason or another, that visual description seemed to only work to confuse. Perhaps a pendulum is too old an artifact for the present. The present ideals move from up to down versus left to right as far as preference.
