liquid words

I found that this reading we much more easily comprehended then base materialism.  At first I was comparing words and fluid, parts that work together to form a whole vs parts that are a whole and can be divided but are still similar. The building up and breaking down of these two. Then I thought about how the letters build up to form words and words make sentences to form a larger meaning. How these words may mean something different in a different context and also the meaning may be lost in translation to someone who speaks another language in their native tongue. The part of the discussion I felt most interesting was about this and foreign language. How we can communicate without language as well as how we translate the language we hear into out own. Also how when you hear or read you picture the story in your head, but if you translate it you are focused more on the actual text and its form then the content of the story because you are translating it, the form vs the story. It was an interesting discussion and reading.
