It came to me how much the meaning of something can truly be reduced because of the lack of understanding in a language you are trying to express it in. Words cannot become a beautiful arrangement without having a deep understanding of them in the first place. That's what I found with one of my favourite's band, their english songs are just so shallow in meaning compared to their touching and heart-wrenching songs composed in their mother's tongue. I knew that things can really mean more to a person when it is expressed in their own language but I guess this realisation is now making more of an impact on me. Just how much effect it has is just staggering, it really doesn't do anyone justice. So just because you think a person is not capable of voicing their own thoughts then think twice. In today's world where people can most often than not, speak two languages or more, you may think less of another person because of this reason. But what if they're actually much much more intelligent and sensitive than you are? With only their blinding facade of an inadequate individual that can be derived from their manners and ways of speaking. Things to think about today.

Ciao,
