language reflect insight
2016-08-25That there is no good or bad, nor hot or cold. That a thing is not something but the thing itself. That it is easy to come to such a conclusion as you realize that peoples can have many different judgements or experiences of the same thing. One person finds bungee jumping scary and fearful, while another finds it exhilarating and liberating. One person finds the shower to cold while another does not.
It seemed normal to me to state that a thing is hot or is cold. But I find it to be a false statement. Because a thing is experienced differently by different beings. I could find a thing to be very hot, while it is only warm for another person. Thus stating that a thing is hot, is in a sense wrong saying. It makes no sense to realize that the things just are and to keep using language in a way that states the opposite. It seem more serving for my language to reflect my insights and believes. To say that I experience a thing in a certain way. I know that most statements are always coming from the point of view of that person, unless stated otherwise. But still. I find it more serving to communicate correctly, or at least to be reminded. It seems to me that there is most purpose into saying a thing a certain way, for the world around you to interpret it the way you really mean it.
