 In one sense, anything can be true. In another, nothing is.

Such is the nature of words. https://image.nostr.build/163de863b5fba8a775fab15de09da0a7fc0d508b40163cea2c61ee41fb17d589.jpg

 I don't think it's just an English problem. 

I do think it's interesting that language had gotten more complex & conceptual over time. 

I think it characterises a shift towards the mind & away from the heart. 

It feels like the more words that we use, the further from the Truth we get. Memes are like an antidote to this trend.
