I was reading "Dune Genesis", a short article by Frank Herbert, when I came across this.
"The flaw must lie in our methods of description, in languages, in social networks of meaning, in moral structures, and in philosophies and religions-all of which convey implicit limits where no limits exist."
Could it be, that in defining something, in giving something shape, we are actually limiting it? It kind of ties in with one of my inklings from taiji, that giving something shape limits it and allows it to be used against yourself (in other words, by giving something shape, you limit it and give it a weakness).
This is probably something that deserves more thought. Something best left for those times when I need something to ponder on. And have the luxury of time to spend pondering it. But do feel free to share if you have any thoughts on this.
