Ideas

Language is how we connect with people. It forms the base of what and how we feel. Attachment to a place, people and experiences is heavily flavored by language. Each individual’s experience is different because how we perceive the same language is different. Translations between languages are just bridges from the dimensions of one language to another. Through the looking glass on one side, in between the words and lines of one language, you can only so much as see what is happening on the other side, enticing silhouettes of the other language. To fully experience it, you need to cross the bridge, immerse yourself in the learning experience by allowing yourself to get lost there. If you make the most of it, there is a chance you discover a portal to the world which is run by the synergy of both the languages. You will be a changed person then. I think ideas were born before words were. Ideas are linked to culture. An idea uses different words in different languages. They are skeletal frameworks on which words fit. If you find the exact translation of these words in a different language, those translated words won’t necessarily fit together. Conveying ideas means translating ideas, not only words.
