I think words or language are much like anything else that are part of the human experience. Understanding their purpose is essential for their enjoyment. They must be held loosely understanding the joy they bring is only possible when held with open hands. The moment we close our hands to grasp or possess them, they become a curse rather than a blessing. Words I believe are a gift to enhance the life experience of humanity. Not meant to be an end in of themselves, but to point to pathways that lead to reality they describe. Intended to lead us back to our true selves, back to our source, ultimately to help us find our way home.

This topic and article feels like a breath of fresh air, Ansh!

My current perspective is that our mind was meant to be a tool, and instead it has become something of a prison (I lowkey blame Descartes for this).

The thing is, we're only in the prison of the mind if we believe in what our mind tells us... which also means that we can't think our way out of the prison. When we stop letting our midn run the entire show, we realize there are no walls.

Great topic and I'm looking forward to reading more!
