Language forms the basis of how we convey thoughts and ideas to one another. It's a complex beast at this point in humanity's history. It's been symbols and sounds for so long we don't consciously identify them as that [thought experiment: the next time you're throwing a controller across the room or shouting in a rage at the tv, have a listen to the actual sounds that are in the air.. now think about other animals that make sounds like that, when and why they're speaking that way]. If you look at the ancient symbols (a friend showed me a sequence by time once) that made up their languages there's something visceral (particularly in kanji)... have you ever wondered that a ? sort of looks like a scythe? Like maybe xe was thinking of the ultimate question?

Anyway, that thought made me smile this morning. Hope everyone's having a day worth having.
