Language is everywhere. It reveals the world. Since I am in the world, I am surrounded by language. World has its meaning to me and usually this meaning has always its function. Through this meaning and the function of the world, I can relate to the world. The world, as an object, is at the same time becomes a language also.
How much do I really need language? I can’t live without language. Language is already a part of my life. I can’t understand something without language. Language is essential in my life. Language can be understood through verbal and non-verbal connection. I need language to express my feelings and at the same time it’s my way to be in connection with others. I need language to be more expressive and understandable. It is true that what you speak reflect what you are. For example, we will speak truth or a lie it will still reflect on yourself, you are a true person or a liar one. Another example is when you said “I like You” it does not mean that you like someone but it only emphasize that you like yourself. Why? Because you want someone like yourself the same as you like yourself.
Language is everywhere. Day by day we live together with language. Some of them as what I mentioned above can be experienced non-verbally, which means language can be expressed through signs and symbols. We could not take away the fact that signs and symbols can be seen everywhere even our body can be a sign or a symbol. Some of this signs and symbols, since both of them may mean many things, can be misinterpreted by others, the same as of the verbal language. We’re not sure of what others say unless we are them. A wet road is not reliable sign of a recent rain if the sprinkler wagon pass by. This misinterpretation of a non-verbal language is a form of mistakes. Mistakes is also one aspect of our lives, we could not avoid it, the same as language itself.
Through the help of language, we continue to evolve. We continue to progress. We continue to make difference and we continue to live. Along with this evolution of man through language is also a failure of others. Language is powerful. We could not live without language.
