Language

The question of whether or not logos (word and reason) was the primary reason that humans could communicate with God; or simply with the language that we as humans have, we are able to reason. Does this reasoning, however, let us communicate with God was the question asked in class. This is not what my post will be about.

Why is it that humans use language to make their lives so complex? Why is it so hard to say 'what you really mean' or 'how you really feel'? In Alaska, there are more than 7 different words for snow and how it falls. Why don't we have that here? Well, I supposed it has something to do with the climate, but why don't more people know about the 7 different words for snow? Is it because they don't need to know it? Why do people feel the need to use extremely large words that the average person has no idea as to what it means? And then when the average person asks them to define it, the person who said the extremely large word is unable to give an accurate and understandable definition.
