ANEMOIA : Musings from my notepad fable

Who are we? What are we? Who am I? How am I?

Translation is subjective. It is also fundamentally universal. Everything today exists due to the cognitive ability to translate information. To be able to translate requires not only the knowledge of traditional cultures but also prerequisite education and learning of what is the need of the present. My ideas are being translated into this essay and will further be transferred into other cognitive systems and the web of translation carries on. Something interesting about translation to me is the curious essence it is based on. Translation is simply an effective medium to enable understandable communication by all the masses. It makes me wonder, in the process of translating theories, languages, recipes or just poetry in different languages, do we lose a crucial part of that thinking? Are we able to translate our idea or does the perceiver define that?
