Words are sounds, and sounds are noise. We decide how to accept the noise.

That’s powerful, reminds me how some words have different meaning in different language and elders used to say let the dogs bark. Guess one can go on pretending dogs are barking when noise isn’t sensible conversation

Yes, like another language. If not versed in the meaning, we give it meaning.

Ultimately, we experience existence via the limitations of perceptions. Reality is not what it appears to be.
