Frustration

#11537340 - 11/27/09 01:21 PM (14 years, 4 months ago)

I do not know about you guys, but I get frustrated that the limitations of language prevent me from accurately describing a psychedelic experience. How can you possibly describe the ineffable through such a pathetic medium?

/mini rant

--------------------
Pleasure, with pain for leaven.
Summer, with flowers that fell.
Rememberance fallen from heaven
and madness risen from hell.

Strength, without hands to smite.
Love that endures for a breath.
Night the shadow of Light,
and Life the shadow of Death.

Language is a highly effective medium of communication. Incredibly effective. The reason that it is difficult to communicate the psychedelic experience through language is that language evolved through commonly shared experiences, thoughts, feelings, and situations. If consuming psychedelics was common, language would be adequately equipped to describe it. Since it is not, language did not evolve to describe it.

Language really is limiting when people are eagar to misunderstand you

Words can be damaging
