It’s the World’s greatest language of the mind and is held in the highest esteem.
That’s it’s problem.
Very soon after birth, the story begins… “mummy”… “daddy” and so on and so on and on.
Welcome to the global world of duality :)
And as ‘They’ say… “The rest, of this story, is history”
After ‘mummy and daddy’… language (and I mean all of them) is then used to force feed intro-aurally and intro-visually into human beings that great stuff… ‘Knowledge’.
A lot of us find it’s acquisition pleasant, challenging, rewarding and even ‘totally addictive’.
The latter claims, tautologically, to be good for us and therefore the more of it we acquire the better :)
A game of Chess has a limited number of pieces and a definite set of rules. So too with all the languages of the globe.
You can develop all sorts of moves and plays in Chess but their number is ultimately finite.
So too with language. It’s a game that is limited, but we pretend that it’s not.
Players of the ‘language game’ are everywhere and always have been.
It is employed to help them learn right from wrong etc etc… and ultimately how to be better than the other contestants :)
Knowledge too, is limited because of the words used which is why it is only… another language.
‘Knowledge’ has been the language in the civilised world for centuries. But as we know there have been sages during all this time that have actually doubted it’s worth and have resorted to poems, tales and stories that look to rattle the home of ‘Knowledge’ i.e. the Mind. The latter, as we all know, is just a fantasy because even though we give it a name… no-one has ever found one.
