Imagine then the effect of dense thickets of words. Most of us at one time or another have met the persuasive liar who enfolds us in a web of untruth. Without violating any legal or social rule, we can create clouds of words which hide reality from each other, make it unnecessary to confront truth, and which all too often stand in for the more badly needed physical gesture. Too much food, wine, language is an intoxicant. Less is better.
Language is highly over-rated as a means of communication.
