🗣️ Language is a limit for understanding.
If a concept can’t be articulated in language, it is not fully understood. Language provides the categories and structures through which we understand the world.
If a word can’t be described literally as it occurs in reality, like the word orange, it can’t be truly defined.
When we think about it, many words are like this. What is a “game”? What is “happiness”?
It can’t be described, so it can’t be defined. It is futile to try to understand it in the realm of language.
It should be understood in the realm of context.
