“We seldom realize, for example that our most private thoughts and
emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages
and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our
society.”
―
Alan Wilson Watts
This quote underlines the importance of the culture and society in the life of a people. Our language is also a part nof our culture and it reflects peculiarities of the culture. Thoughts and emotions of a person are also permeated by the culture.
Society and culture into which a person was born play an important role in our life. They define the way we think, speak and behave. One shouldn't undermine the significence of the society in the formation of images we operate.
This quotation makes us realize how our soul and feelings are influenced by society, it's rules and traditions. The language we speak is a mirror of the culture we refer to. The language we speak reflects the way we think and live, customs and traditions. Learning the language we also get aquainted with the culture of the country.
I agree with the girls that the quote underlines the meaninig of society and culture in the life of people. People who life in different countries, different cultures and societies not simply speak different languages, but also think in different manners. That's why one may come across cultural misunderstanding.
