Some people are visual thinkers, its why symbolism works so well. Some think in numbers my Sister as an example will ties events together with ratios and she doesn't even realize that she does it. Language for it's amazing ability to connect us, is a serious limitation and almost a cage at a certain level of thought.

Okay. How do you think of the color red without using the word? How about a chicken? You describe it as a bird walking on the ground? Language is what humans use, we can't make up abstract terms or ideas without first defining those things with words. I'm not sure what tying events together with ratios means or if it works or is a good idea to do. How do you know what is happening in your sisters head and that she isn't realizing she is doing something? Maybe that is how you perceive what she is doing? Maybe she isn't doing that? How do you think without having an idea of what you are thinking about? You think something new that hasn't been defined before? Okay, please explain this thing that has no words to define it. Visual thinkers. Okay, they think of a pot and kettle and then a soup they want to make. All of these things have definitions. UFO? It was flying around fast but I couldn't make out what it was. Symbolism doesn't work well. What could be a devil to you is another persons god. Maybe symbols within a certain culture or group of humans. The Swastika is known as a symbol of peace in India and a marker for Temples in Japan. To the Jews and Germans its known differently. Language is important, maybe its the flawed humans using it wrong that is the problem.
