If you walk into a room with ten people in it and say the word horse.
Seven people picture seven different horses...from Mr.Ed to Black Beauty and so on.(the english major is thinking, "sore throat?)
One person didn't hear you, the other misunderstood what you said.
This is the way it is with all words. We're imprisoned in our bodies passing messages to each other in the form of these words...and they don't mean the same thing to whoever hears them. As they mean to the person saying...whatever.
So it is with all words.
A pale shadow to a picture.
Translucent compared to reality.
