These "stairs" are irregular. Some are easy to climb, while others
require more effort. Some are longer steps, so that you can enjoy a
lateral step towards the next step without any effort. Etc.

A good analogy is short hand for a big idea. If the analogy needs an
essay to explain it, it's not a good analogy.

And I'm glad I don't live in your house. Who built the stairs,
Picasso?

My stairs are regular, except where the cat(s) puked.
