Mikons and Words are merely symbols that attempt to describe something; a mirrored image that only reflects the surface. They simply point to the direction of what it really is. The word goldfish isn’t a goldfish. An image of tulip isn’t a tulip either. And my idea of them is not the same as what they really are.
Take pause when you find yourself attached to an idea of something. Ask yourself, “is my idea of this really what it is?”. Words and symbols simply resonate with our experiences and beliefs. Their meaning comes from the context of our lifes. Meaning is in the eye of the beholder as it were. So be aware of what you believe. A false belief can render meaning meaningless and words and symbols pointless.
