Language is always a problem when explaining, rationalizing, and dealing with different issues of philosophy. The problem of language most notably gets in the way when dealing with God, and religious matters. There are always going to be contradictions, people arguing over nothing because they are arguing about completely different things, people saying the same thing yet they don't know it, etc. Look past the language and rhetoric and see what is at the core of an issue or argument.

There are moments when it is best not to say anything. There are no words necessary.

To fools words are coins. To wise men they are merely tokens.

sometimes, yes, but a moment of silence stirs feelings

the language of silence is the most eloquent. can you remember one time it has failed you when you really couldn't verbalize?

yes, then silence 'speaks' and the way is clear.
