Response to waking life video

I found this video to be very interesting. Language is a commonality that helps us to work together with others, but consciousness only allows for us to understand a small percent of the reality happening around us. We cannot fully express ourselves if we don't understand ourselves well enough to articulate it to people around us. Therefore, one cannot claim to understand another person through language alone, since we are far more complex than we can ever explain. I think it proves that everyone creates their own realities based on their experiences, and perceptions. Sometimes it goes deeper than we think.
