Words and Meaning

I think that the breakdown of words and meaning lies in the inadequate system of language. It is hard for us to explain everything ith merely words. For example, our imperfect human words cannot make someone know the feeling of love or sadness. A person cannot know in their mind a specific feeling. That is why people use their hands while they talk or facial expressions or just plain body language to transfer what they are trying to say. Reality is much more than imperfect words. So pretty much, our language is not a good enough way to explain THINGS in reality.
