I was in a class yesterday and we got into a very interesting subject. Ok so we all know that words and language are necessary to think right. But its also what stops us from being able to "think deeply" because we begin to trip over our words, we are limited by the words definitions. Its like being in a box, which by stating you're in a box i have just restricted you through words.
For everyone who doesn't understand this, which is probably everyone here is an example.
Take time.It is usually moving forwar. But now i have labeled time as a noun which means i now can and must give it adjectives, traits, characteristics. So let's call time a line which can be curved. That however creates time as a line which wont work so lets call it a plane. Now you put a hole in a plane that's not a hole but an extension going downward, but that downward is not going down as we reference down to be but instead back which can't be.
Make no sense? That's because it is not possible, we can't possibly describe something without words to it, which we can't create without reference words. This means we can't think further than what we understand exactly at this moment, we can only merely fluctuate what we already know.
And yes I may be insane.
