It's Greek to me. ....well actually, yes, it is.

So I really like languages. I'm planning to take Chinese when I get to school, and I've been trying to teach myself a little bit of Sanskrit and Greek. I think the idea that a symbol can stand for a word is amazing, and the fact that we don't even go through the mental process of noticing our symbols in english to write is incredible. I mean, a little line with a dot over it can substitute as a word for the first person, "I". What is "I"? Why, a little line with a dot over it! Seriously, isn't it weird?

So...what I actually mean to say is that I like symbols, because at some given point, it has a meaning to someone in the world, when it could just be a line with a dot over it to someone else. Everything is perspective in this world, and depending upon which perspective you have, you see and understand things in an entirely different light from someone else.

Humans base understanding upon senses, for without senses, we would have no mode for reception. Crazy. So, in the end, I think it's always a bit better to expand one's sensory intake, for maybe when we've reached the limit of input, we can find a way to understand things when they are not based upon senses. Like love. ....I'm stupid.

So, anyway, to the main point....here are some interesting Greek facts/basics.

Here is how the greek alphabet goes:



cool, yeah? I KNOW! Our letters come from this alphabet--obviously ours are just updated a whole lot though. Languages go through transformations over hundreds of years (kind of like evolution), and what we call 'a' now, might be something l like a.....some kind of......squiggle in a couple hundred years. ....most retarded sentence ever.

Anyway, there's some greek. Sorry I couldn't give more extensive information, but I just don't know greek. Yay.
