Nuances of Language

In urdu we say agar main sach sach bata du, when I translate it to English it becomes  if I tell you the truth truthfully. These sentences exist in different languages. And if you try to understand, they make sense. If there is a way of saying a truth truthfully, then there must be a way of telling that truth decietfully as well. Ah, What a world we live in!  And how language brings nuance to thoughts. These thoughts that are inherently  impossible without language.

Once I told her that everyone has a different love language. But I forgot that people not interested in the intricacies of language won’t understand that nuance of what I was trying to say. It is okay. It is one of the common truths. I have made my peace with it. Have you?
