i remembered once daniel ever sent me sth very chim over sms... cant exactly recall how it is phrased but it is something like this... thru words is one way that we can communicate our feelings... however, words cannot describe our feelings completely... haha dunno why i was thinking over this sms these days... maybe i am not talking much to other ppl which led to me thinking abt stuffs again... my mouth can stop my brain from working... =p
this is really quite true... if u said the sentence "i am happy", it is difficult for the other party to understand this sentence... there are different types of happy and different degrees of happy... but the more u describe ur happiness, the more complex it gets... how can the other party comprehend ur feeling of being happy? he/she is not the one in ur shoes... at most they could try to imagine how they wld feel if they were in ur shoes... there's always some loss in communicating with one another?
haha i have no idea wat i am writing now...
p/s: hoshi just sent me a clip of song samples from nanase's new album, RUOK? =) its really nice... anyone going japan? ahhh...... YES! mutsumi is going back... heehee~ so happy! dont think it would appear in HMV sg... rem last time i also gotta get sylvia to buy from japan too... :s

People depends on words, because words give forms. Words give forms to shifting meanings. And a reality that is hard to grasp. By combining these forms in many different ways we attempt to communicate our thoughts.
Creating a word for something imposes a definition on it, therefore trapping it in a limited space. It is like taking a photo of the sky. Looking at the actual sky will be different from looking at the photo. The sky in the photo is framed by 4 corners. How can it convey the feeling of vastness and freedom that is so intrinsic of the heavens above?
However, if people had never been acquainted with words, we wouldn't be able to think the way we do now.
But usually, people become so caught up with words that they give meaning to the actual words themselves. They forget that words only point to the meanings and do not have any intrinsic value beyond this function. People's reality therefore become based upon the definition of words, giving it power...allowing words to shape their perception. In this reality, whatever that is not represented by word, their existence are forgotten and overlooked.
The whispers of feelings that don't express themselves in words...fleeting emotions that disappears before you can comprehend their significance, the silence between two thoughts...these are instances that words cannot describe.
The purpose of words is to categorise, and separate. This helps us to simplify the complex world around us in order for us to understand it. Yet this very same purpose limits our understanding of the world by excluding the complexities present.
ps: there,hope this helps u recall the content of the sms. =P
