Language

Language comes so naturally to us that it is easy to forget what a strange and miraculous gift it is. All over the world members of our species fashion their breath into hisses and hums and squeaks and pops and listen to others do the same . We do this, of course, not only because we like the sounds but because details of the sounds contain information about the intentions of the person making them. We, humans, are fitted with a means of sharing our ideas, in all their unfathomable vastness. When we listen to the speech, we can be led to think thoughts that have never been thought before, and that never would have occurred to us on our own.
