sometimes there aren't enough words to say what it is that you want to convey. i still sometimes believe that language is a barrier, even when coupled with body language. all of the nuances of the emotions and thoughts could never be told through written or verbal language.

the sad truth is, i can never really ever tell you what i've been dying to tell you.

i wonder if you'll ever know.

i sometimes write on a hundred sheets of paper all of those things that i've been thinking about since you've been gone.

one day a curious wind crept in and reached out like an unseen hand and swept them all aside and it was as if i was starting all over again.

I would say the only limits placed upon expression beyond language & body language are associated with context, including history behind the interaction between those involved in the conversation. Don't you think so?

you could never really know what i mean by "black" or "grey" or even "love". my meaning could never really be understood or even "felt".

my meaning behind this writing, even, could never really be understood because my meaning is affected by my conditioning and any prior thoughts i may have had on this subject which is built upon, in part, by previous discussions i've had regarding this subject with other people whose "thoughts" are guided by their previous conditioning, ad nauseum.

it is certainly an interesting topic though. :)

In the sense we're both describing, the only way we have of understanding is empathizing. That is, relating what we percieve one is saying to our own set of experience.

So, no, I can't really understand what you mean by 'love' or 'grey' without living the life lessons that have moved you to use these words. But then, isn't the human experience just constant enough for me to relate more or less the same?
