The Restrictions of Speech
"Speech" restricts your experience of reality - it forms a description of the world and gives everything a label. When you accept this "label", you actually erect a barrier between yourself and an experience. This "label" replaces the thing itself - when you see a tree, you think "tree" and move on - rather than allowing yourself to experience the impact of this living organism. As you come to rely on this rationality - you will begin to ignore experiences that cannot be expressed in words...
You will forget the importance of these wordless experiences and then grow frustrated by the things you can't frame within reason.
