Words reduce reality to something the human mind can grasp, which isnβt very much. Language consists of five basic sounds produced by the vocal cords. They are the vowels a, e, i, o, u. The other sounds are consonants produced by air pressure: s, f, g, and so forth. Do you believe some combination of such basic sounds could ever explain who you are, or the ultimate purpose of the universe, or even what a tree or stone is in its depth? β¨ Eckhart Tolle (2006). A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, p.31, Penguin
