A world is nothing without analysis. We all live in some form of surroundings, but we can't make sense of them without materializing our thoughts. Now, thoughts in themselves are such abstract things that I suppose they'd exist even without the support of a language: It's just tendency to have baseline reactions in at least the positive or negative, even without the sophistication to articulate. But articulation is necessary. Once we pin down our thoughts to fitting vocabulary, we give our lives necessary definition -- We own these worlds that we inhabit by describing them, by analyzing them, by engaging in higher level thinking that is accessible only by language. And the transmissions of our thoughts, what we make out of these respective worlds we live in, are what intertwine our existences and permit essential communication. Without language our worlds become confined to our own minds and only our own; Language gives us sophistication and relation and allows us to optimize the meanings and opportunities that we find around us everyday.
