“Language is the source of misunderstandings.” --Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We are bound to it, ever wrestling to free ourselves from language. The arts and religion have evolved as means to transcend mere language for the expression of deep and profound human emotions. Even though I use a highly sophisticated technology to blog, I am ever aware of the archaic medium I employ. The future truly will belong to those who can capture the essence of the human soul without using words. Until then, however, we are slaves of language.
