How Language Oversimplifies Reality

Words live in the realm of language. A component of language, an obstacle of communication. I hear that words only wish to be heard. The irony is that words that are constantly heard eventually lose their inherent meaning. They become mutations of the subjective. Yet, they still ask for recognition, only for them to lose all that makes them them. A sense of familiarity renders them obsolete. If you repeat a word ten times, you disentangle the word into meaningless syllables.

Newborn words are curious impressionable beings, dependent on the environment to shape their future development. The elephant in the room is this, as soon as words come into existence they belittle the concept which they were born to represent.

Words are two dimensional caricatures of fractal dimensional behemoth reality. A shadow of an octopus. An outline of a rainbow. This does not come with no consequence. Words are our brainchild, in the endless repository of universal language. As these words age into faster input and output efficiencies, they are morphed into experiential telepathic language. Thoughts and concepts weaved straight from human consciousness by cybernetic tentacles with the super hive-mind of Gaia, and projected into simulated alternate realities.
