It's been argued, sometimes strongly, that language is a lense that affects how we view the world and probably by extension, ourselves. I should probably also point out that this post is just a throwaway thought and that I don't know enough to argue one way or another. ;)They aren't. One can comprehend themselves without being able to express it through human language.
