This is a lot of pressure. Meaningless, but undeniable. I don't want to listen to anyone anymore, my anger is about to spill over my patience. Moments when I want to be heard but there is no one to listen to me. And I cannot make anything out of my own words. Mostly noise. I am cultivating a volcano with boiling words, blistering me from inside.


I paint graffiti of my thoughts - result of unheard, incomprehensible voices screaming inside. Desperate attempts to be free from this noise. I wonder - what's the purpose of words - to create noise, or to create silence...

What's this??
The purpose of both words and silence SHOULD be communication - with our own self as well as with the outer world.

it was silence in the beginning, then there were words.. then words gave rise to more and more words.. question is, if word was not there, would we know what 'despair' is, or what 'courage' or 'love' is.. is it through word that we understand feeling, or is it through feeling that we create word.. i believe, word is like a direction given to the waves of feelings after which (ideally) silence should prevail, which is not always the case..

True, feelings are primary and words are used to express it. A mother does not need words to expess her love for a less than 1 yr old. But as we grow, our understanding of feelings becomes feeble, so words play a vital role. But again there are some words, meaningless. Just said to say something, not sure what. Courage, love, dispair are all quailties or feelings within. Their being is not due to words.
Well, that's my take on this complex philosophical topic. Others may differ.

so why do our feelings become feeble? or is it that they become entangled and chaotic?

the word is not meaningless per se, words are anyhow dead. it's what they represent, might not be able to justify the words - that makes words meaningless, or the way they are understood..

anyhow, the purpose of this post was not to provoke a debate, but to express a new thought - how would the world look, if i could forget the language!

Well, I don't think we are into any debate, I agree with your thoughts. Feelings becomes weak because as we gain consciousness, we tend to use our mind, and other distortive factors come in. It is contaminaion of feeling of feelings.
