# The Weirdness of Human Language

Human language is an enterprise of creation and modification that is constantly occurring. We create words, ideas, concepts which are then modified, adapted or lost in the vast expanse of time. This complex process involves a search for understanding and coherence, but also a capacity to modify and create.

## The Constraint of Logic

Language human is marked by its ability to adapt to existing conditions. We conform to logical rules that allow us to produce a coherent language, but also our own freedom of creation. This is thus how we create complex phrases, short sentences, and ideas dependent on the social context.

## The Use of Analogies

Human language uses often analogies to describe concepts, but also to create new notions. We use these analogies to simplify concepts that are complex, to make them accessible to a larger public or to explain matters in terms more familiar to us. But this analogy is also a constraint, as it can prevent us from addressing certain questions with precision.

Human language is marked by its weirdness as a creator and modifier. We create words that may be misinterpreted, concepts that are lost in the vast expanse of time or ideas that do not correspond to reality. This weirdness prevents us from communicating precisely and taking wise decisions.

## The Ability to Return to Original Point

However, human language has also the ability to return to its original point. We can return to a concept or idea which seems unlikely, and we can reevaluate it in light of new information or new experiences. This ability that allows us to revisit time, debate ideas, and understand complexity.

Human language is in full activity, creating, modifying and losing constantly. This weirdness forces us to be attentive to the limits of the language, to recognize logical constraints, and to use analogies to create new notions. But this weirdness also allows us to communicate, take wise decisions and understand the world which surrounds us.
