I like words, and writing and speaking, in general. I believe it is so amazing that we have a body, and anatomy, that allows for speech. I remember reading in a book by Carl Sagan about the evolution of human intelligence that chimpanzees have the capacity for speech, but their anatomy does not allow for it. Not all living bodies are made equal, and I'm glad that I have one with a tongue (and a hyoid bone) so that I can communicate to others through words. I believe I'm better capable of expressing how I feel with words, though I often feel like there are words for certain feelings and emotions that don't exist. And that's where description is limited. I can describe things to a certain extent, but words can never truly convey what I feel or my personal experience of life.
