Language is the architecture of thought; without a specific word for a feeling or concept, we lack the framework to diagnose our own experience. We are forced to rely on poor approximations, or we simply fail to synthesize the experience.
A limited vocabulary doesn’t just limit our expression—it shackles the mind.
Without the right language, we fall prey to cliches and reductive rhetoric. We may feel disjointed, but our inability to articulate our intuitive knowledge hampers our ability to formulate solutions or overcome obstacles.
