I read quite some time ago that one can’t have a thought
unless the words exist to express that thought. I guess that makes sense. Must have been very difficult to be a caveman, though.
Although, since the word very
and the word difficult didn’t exist,
maybe not. Maybe cavemen thought
being a caveman was just; grunt, grunt.
On a related note: the Eskimos have roughly fifty or sixty
words for snow, don’t they? They must
think about snow a lot.
