With the consent of my two good friends, I am sharing their interpretations of the above passages from Wittgenstein with some additional passages:
"The limits of my language are the limits of my mind what I have are what language for."
Vocabulary and the use of language is only used as far as it has use… For example, English has many overly-complicated words which have simpler, easier to use versions… According to this, using the more complicated version is pointless and would not be considered language… Perhaps because language is mostly expressed as voiced-words…
"Everyday Language is a part of human organism and is no less complicated than it. It is not humanly possible to gather immediately from it what the logic of the language. Language disguises thought."
This one is fun… It means that there can be, likely is, and should be, multiple layers of meanings in simple statements… Language can be used to send a message that would otherwise be easier to relay via action… Use poems as an example…
"A picture is a model of reality."
No matter how close a picture is to the original, it is still just a copy… However, this does not necessarily mean it is inferior…
"What we cannot speak about must pass over in silence.”
Some statements is better left implied than explicitly declared.
"If the good or bad exercise of the will does alter the world, it can only alter the limits of the world not the facts-not what can be expressed by expressed by means of language. In short, the effect must be that it becomes altogether different world. It must, so to speak, wax and wane as a whole.The world of the happy man is different from that of unhappy man."
Humans tend to be extremely gullible… Words have power they say… Basically, this statement is talking about self-hypnosis… If you bring yourself to believe that you did well in the exam, then regardless of the result, you would feel accomplished… Believing would not change the outcome, you would still fail, but nonetheless, you feel like you achieved something… And that is the secret to happiness.
"At some point, one has to pass from explanation to mere description.”
If you want to train a person to think for himself, then you teach him how the world works, you explain the how cause leads to effect, and the many variables found between… Though you would eventually form a person, capable of analysis, data synthesis, and event prediction, you have also created a person with a different perspective of the world than you… Eventually, this person would develop his own form of reality, his own version of cause and effect… This person will be another, yet different, you… Sometimes it is better to outright tell them what will happen rather than show them how it happens…
"The world is all that is the case."
Have you watched Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood? Watch, the episode wherein they were stuck on an island and told to discover the truth of the universe by their mentor… this will start making sense…
Nothing happens without a cause, very few things happen without a reason, and there are no coincidences… Everything is connected, everything is one, one is all, all is contained within all of us…
