On words, meanings and languages
If words alone contained their own meanings then we would have had a single language all over the world.
Meanings exist in the mind and nature also and we choose words to express those meanings. It is for this reason that those populations which were unconnected due to geographical reasons developed completely different languages.
As we grow older, each one of us can develop a language of our own in our minds. Many code languages are used by many secret service agents also and modified as per need.
However, language is not just means of discussing with ourselves but also communicating with others.
If we develop a new language of our own, we would not be understood by anyone else or will be understood by others with great difficulty.
We therefore learn a language which is already in use in the community so that we could communicate with everyone easily.
A traditional or native language is borne out of meanings of many generations. A traditional or native language is borne out of thinking of many people of the past- Cogitamus Ergo Sumus.
Practically speaking, we can develop our own unique language after a certain age, but we need not waste time doing so, because not many people will be interested in learning our new language. The best language is the language which is already in acceptance at the place where we live. And remember this native language is borne out of the thinking of many minds in past. Words acquire their meanings because we agree to believe it so, based on our common thinking.
The last and most important point (scientific as well as logical one)….
The most important language is the symbolic language of nature. It is the language which speaks not in words but in examples. All languages develop in coherence and in conjunction with this symbolic language of nature. Mind and nature connect with each other by this language.
