E9: Words shape our worldview
Every language has its fine points and flaws. So if you want to carve a better worldview, learn more than one language.
When we speak in English, we don't differentiate between a temporary condition like being sick, and a permanent condition like being black. But the Spanish differentiate.
In English, we say, I ran into the thorn. The English language teaches you to take responsibility. When you take responsibility you improve your life.
In Tamil, my mother tongue, we say the same thing as, the thorn pricked me. As if the thorn had a vengeance on me, took a life of its own, and came chasing me to prick me.
