What is language?

Language are series of symbols which mix the verse then sentences further,

Paragraphs so we can give meaning to the combination of the verse The mind must give meaning to the verse to make sense the verse Between you and me,

We must agree on the same way of giving meaning to the verse It means that we make a compromise to communicate Or else everyone has different way of giving meaning to the verse,

It is not possible to communicate We call this compromise this agreement,

We can say that the language is a compromised communication When we agree on the same usage of the language,

We can communicate,

Right?

In all kinds of life situations,

At work,

In a classroom,

At home,

In the store But have you ever noticed that language is not perfect,

It's never perfect?

When we say a word,

Ample,

Different images will be triggered in different people's mind Someone might think the fruit first,

A green one,

Others might think the red one Perhaps another people thinks the mobile phone or the computer,

The brand So even for the same word,

It has different connotations,

Different associations in different people's mind For many daily things,

This distinction might not make a difference,

We can go with it But when we talk about the inner world,

Emotions or feelings,

The limitations of the verse,

The verbal expression,

Begin to surface Unfortunately,

Nowadays the language has been used extensively to express the self From the media,

From the blog,

Blog,

Podcast,

There are so many people are voicing themselves via words,

Via languages Creating a lot of noise,

Confusion,

Because the verbal statement about the mind is very inaccurate It is rather influential,

Because most people don't examine the meaning of a verse They are influenced by the image triggered by the verse
