Welp, this question of language is something that I've always pondered
over...

Language is limited b/c there are a finite amount of words in anyone's
vocabulary, even the most erudite scholar.... yet the thoughts in our
complex brain are incredibly infinite. Therefore even though we can
combine words to form more complex ideas, they still can not compare to
the thoughts.

I always have thought this to be limiting. Because I, personally always
try to write down my thoughts, verbalize them to someone, or I at least
use language in my head to determine exactly how it is that I am
feeling. There is some sort of natural tendency to quantify everything
we feel, but as we do so it seems that we are limiting ourselves.
----I don't know how to remedy this, or if it's even possible. But,
basically - though I absolutely love literature - I find it as a
restriction.

Good luck with your papers everyone!!!! See you at 3pm!
