Inkling - Being limited

Just as giving something shape limits it, our thoughts may well be limited right from the start. For our thoughts are formed in languages and words that we understand. Yet these very words, these languages, become the boundaries that we cannot transcend. Because we cannot think of something that cannot be described by the languages we speak, the words that we know.

Language, then, is the enabler for thought creation. Thoughts can be formed when there is a language to describe it. And when there is no word for that thought? Create that word to describe it, and the thought is created. The word, and the creation that is described by the word, are one and the same.

Something to ponder on. Something I am pondering on, even though I have a headache the whole day.

About to die.

When there is no up, no down, when life is a boring single tone, there is nothing to write about. When one simply exists because one exists, when existence is meaning itself, there is nothing to write about.

Small steps

We are taking small steps towards change.

For better or worse, no one will know, but we will find out. But I guess it will always be a mixture, some things will get better, some will get worse. That's life, you can't have your cake and eat it.

Small steps towards big changes.

Time to try a different path. It may not be a better path, but you never know unless you try,
