I'm so sick of studying language, communication.. that I just wish the humanity went in a big silent dream

Ho my dear but you shouldn't be sick about language for it is the most faithful thing we have to transmit thoughts.
I've now realized for the first time in my life the vital importance of being Ernest, and to be able to use language to transmit that to you and every other subject, no matter how inaccurate the translation may be, from the though as it exists my mouth or is typed on to the keyboard for your pleasured reading, language is the most faithful instrument.
Although it may be also a conditioning factor, as it is within the example of freedom.
Was freedom a though or an idea, before being called so? Or was it an existing word that grab so though out meaning.
And what is silent?
The void of words and speech, the absence of sounds and tunes? Tell me though, don't you hear yourself as you think onto yourself? And yet no sound is made... How marvelous.
Silence is the nightmare of the dead that even has they lie in their grave are said to speak...
