I am constantly thinking about words for I work with them. And I found a very interesting sentence in a book: András Feldmár (Hungarian psychologist living in Canada) wrote in a book (made of his lectures), The rainbow of conscious-states. Sorry if the translation is not perfect.
"What we see or don't see doesn't depend on whether we have a word for it, or we don't have. But even if we do have a word for it, it doesn't mean that it really exists. It might be a part we have created so that we can talk about it."
Az, hogy mit látunk és mit nem, attól is függ, hogy van-e rá szavunk vagy nincs. De ha van is rán szavunk, az még nem jelenti azt, hogy olyan valóban létezik. Lehet, hogy ez is olyan rész, amit azért teremtettünk, hogy beszéljünk róla.
It's so easy to misunderstand each other.
