Words.I know I've written about words before, but the whole concept of words is one that continues to boggle my mind.
I think about words a lot.
Words are incredible things. Sounds. Symbols. Representative of thoughts, feelings, and ideas.
Our thoughts are composed of words...language in our minds.
We can communicate our thoughts by converting these words from the thought form of language into spoken or written forms.
Where would we be without words?
How would we even think without words?
Yet, it is those words, more than anything else, that hinder our thoughts, ideas, communication, and expression. We are limited to ideas that can be expressed through our limited language.
A great paradox.
Words give life to ideas.
Words keep those ideas in boxes.
Our freedom is also our prison.
We must have words in order to think.
Yet we cannot think beyond the confines of our words.
Irony:
I am able to think of this paradoxical concept using words.
Yet the lack of words to fully express this concept frustrates me.
I think I'm thinking about it too much. :-)
