I agree with one thing you said. Words are the human curse.
I figured this out a long time ago and so have been on a life-long campaign to separate the hypnosis of words from my actual experience. It's probably the single most significant thing about me - since that's what I take most seriously. On the one hand there is my experience and on the other hand there are a bunch of words attached to it. To me, one is real and the other is a phony imitation of reality which has some very small value when used contextually as a communications device as necessary - but which is likely to produce wildly unpredictable results if not used with the awareness that the map is not the territory.
We are hypnotized by words because we are susceptible to cultural hypnosis - and vice versa.
It's a radically revolutionary position I take as regards this - involving a revolution in consciousness.
Either we free ourselves from the tyranny of words-as-experience or we are never living in the real world. Most of us live in verbal constructions. That is the problem.
