Division, Categorization, Separation 

I have a command of language...But that doesn't mean I enjoy it. In fact, I come to absolutely despise language for the barriers it puts up.

The baseline of language is to divide. Categorize. Separate. And from that division, categorization, and separation comes prejudice.

It separates "intelligent" beings from nature. Which in turn leads us to separating from each other.

In a world without the division, categorization, and separation of language, racism wouldn't exist. Sexism. Homophobia. Transphobia.

None of that would exist.

Because a world without language is a world without division, categorization, and separation. To awaken on a spiritual level that is beyond language only makes that more abundantly clear...

And all the more alienating.
