language

language is the eyes of others inside her

where she goes the others go too

when she learned her language, she learned a language that exists for many centuries already and that was spoken, used and abused by many people before her and will be spoken, used and abused by many people after her

when she learned her language she learned to think, and when she learned to think she learned to objectify the world

she learned the rules of her languages at the same time she learned the rules of the society where they use that language

therefore she does not believe in a self in herself that is completely herself

she believes you are only yourself in combination and opposition with others

when she learned her language she learned the spoken and unspoken morals of that language

when she is alone she can feel ashamed

when she is alone the others are there too inside her head

she took the eyes of others inside her the moment she started to learn her language

where she goes the others go too
