Although, I believe that language is the foundation that supports the building, language is limited in its use. Language when it isn't able to work completely it is like that pie-crust that Emily Bronte speaks about. You take the time and put out effort to make it just right, but when you open up the oven the pie-crust is all crumpled. Language can become crumpled also. As I mentioned before that I would trade a photograph for one word, sometimes that chore is impossible.
Language are the communicator's tool but sometimes the limitations are so great that the tool fails.
Pictures aren't the only things that we have trouble describing. When someone asks us how we feel we run up against a brick wall. We as a society hide behind language. No probably not we hide behind the limited language we have and make our escape. When we do this we impose the limitations of language as communication on ourselves.
