When we ruminate on language and find the myriad contradictions, quirks, and redundancies therein, we will gradually come to the conclusion it ought not be taken over-seriously. Perhaps the average person opines that the disparity between words and reality is not so large, that daily matters as they are generally expressed are
closely in correspondence with the actuality underlying their conveyence, and so forth. It is not such a surprising conclusion, though entirely false. The difference between langauge and reality is extraordinarily massive.
To be agreeable outwardly, yet camped firmly in one's bastion inwardly is a viable battle tactic. Quibbling and bickering is an occupation for children! Since so many lack the refinement to discuss the dynamics of various positions without getting emotionally entangled therein, it is often wise to concur, or remain silent. Do not cast pearls before swine! Energy is wasted upon those who prefer to function as vacuums. Your vitality might flow entirely into another universe, your strata stripped and sucked off, your summit denuded by vandals!
To know the fleeting and undependable nature of semantic constructs is empowering in the extreme. Just as we are not eternally shackled to the clay vessels we inhabit currently, our minds need not be forever enslaved by linguistic systems which are absurd, confusing, hyper-derivitave multi-tongued amalgamations. Our emotions need not be chained to labels attempting to describe the inexplicable. Our spirits need not be painted by the pigmented neural programming with which even our mother tongue attempts to stain us deeply. We are that permutating chimeric canvas, woven of fibrous starlight. Every knot is unentangled eventually (not un-angular our journey though smooth when viewed through the mirror-lens of the galactic cartographer.) Cowabunga, the Milky Way beckons!

hmm how can i concur and disagree at the same time? language is a building block, it is a shadow and a rhyme, a spell and an empty nuance depending on the worth you give it. words come from our breathe, and should be used carefully and reverently, not thrown out as interjections upon a dark night. words are weapons and tools, lights and leverage. they should be used with caution and respect. the construct is man made, the interpretation mind made, the essence comes from the breathe within. it is our breathe which gives words life. language is merely an appendage from which we welcome the world.
Well spoken, dear friend. Language dictates our relationships and our inner dialogs. It is within our control and fully disposable. To have the most impact, we must be ever mindful of that power.

@d-pend I read your words five times. I know you have a very deep message about linguistic systems and how we should not be tainted by it. But I have to tell you, the pictures were so distracting for me that I had a real hard time focusing on your words. I even darkened the screen but my eyes kept getting distracted. It made me squint. Were the pictures part of the meaning of your post that we cannot be distracted by visuals? My brain is fried again! :D
