Language

Where does our language come from? Human beings at the first place do not know English or Cantonese. It is perhaps until people have to communicate with each other, either for food or sex or anything else, they need to talk to express their need.

As languages build up, coincidentally our world and our brains becomes larger in capacity. Concepts develop and ideas arise. Agreements are made between people, so as conflicts. But anyhow, by definition, our world has become beautiful because of the language development, enabling us to describe it.

On the other hand, it has become ugly and evil with the language, as suggested by Cangjie (倉頡) who created Chinese words. Read the following:

龍顏侈侈，四目靈光，實有睿德，生而能書。於是窮天地之變，仰觀奎星圓曲之勢，俯察龜文鳥羽山川，指掌而創文字，天為雨粟，鬼為夜哭，龍乃潛藏。(春秋元命苞)

You see, my friends, many people in our history of human beings make tricks using the languages to control the minds of other people, making schemes for their own benefits. Languages are the tools of reason and truth when they are used by the people with righteous and just mind, but also the swords and guns when they are used by the devils. We should never give up our reason but just believing in what other peoples say. Instead, we always have to interpret what the external information, before deciding if they are true or false.
