"...monkeys do not talk, because they know that if they utter even a single word some man will come and put them to work."
Speaking your mind is a huge risk. When we speak our thoughts we we strip ourselves naked of all pretenses. We turn ourselves inside out for the world to see our vulnerability. I admire those who are able to do this candidly.
Many have said that language allows us to understand the world without becoming completely overwhelmed by it. I find language in itself completely overwhelming.
