Opacity

Opacity is the property of being impenetrable to light, making it impossible to see through an object. If you’re feeling a bit in the dark about this, don’t worry- you’re not alone.

Opacity can be found in a variety of everyday objects, such as walls, floors, and ceilings- all of which are known to block out the sun’s life-giving rays with ruthless efficiency. The downside to this is that it can make it difficult to locate your car keys when they inevitably fall behind the couch.

Aside from physical objects, opacity can also manifest itself in more abstract ways. For example, the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle could be seen as a sort of opaque veil that obscures the truth behind countless disappearances.

But one of the most famous examples of opacity can be found in the world of politics. The murky waters of political maneuvering are often so opaque that it’s nearly impossible for the average person to understand what’s going on. And even if you do manage to catch a glimpse of the truth, you’ll need a shovel to dig your way out of the heaps of spin and obfuscation that are sure to follow.

So the next time you find yourself feeling a bit out of the loop, just remember- opacity is always lurking just beneath the surface, waiting to shroud you in darkness. But hey, at least you’ll have an excuse for not being able to find your keys.
