Few thoughts on language

"Today late afternoon in the illusive shades of the twilight I saw a beautiful lady dressed in white.Someone like the Lady of Shallot.What to say.. Belle de Jour?.I am just not able to find right words to describe"
The above statement is interesting but vague.It tells something at the same time hides away many things.Many of us has come across such a situation where we do not find the right words to express or find that the words we have used are not enough to express what we actually felt.Also there are many occasions where we say something and it gets interpreted in an absolutely different manner.So what ever be the language the words fall short or becomes vague to portray our thoughts in satisfactory and unambiguous fashion.



"A picture paints a thousand words...."
Yes.We use pictures and other symbols are also used to reflect our state of mind and worldviews.Sometimes we use pictures and words both to supplement each other as well.Even this vast repository of symbols falls short for us sometimes to communicate our feelings and realizations.So as Wittgenstein said "what we cannot speak about we must over in silence..."
This I feel is a great obstacle in order communicate with and understand each other.Language is an important ingredient of the gradual unfolding of life in this earth and particularly the society of many living organisms.This is the key for us to interact with the nature and society,to cooperate,to transform,to evolve and emergence of our worldviews.A glue that ties the parts together with whole. The disparity in ability to communicate among different groups and individuals further aggravates the situation of confusion and misunderstanding.
Language is also vital in the process of learning.It helps us to learn,know,open our "doors to perception",to develop the sense that we will dissolve into the whole where we have evolved from.If there is an eternity and ultimate truth won't there be an ultimate language to express them without ambiguity?.I think there won't be any.Realization is the only resort and everybody has to walk those last few miles alone in silence.
