I think the same of all written languages, though, when they're formed in an artistically / aesthetically appealing manner.

Asiatic languages imply something much, much more with one simple word than European words ever can.
But not for this thread.

I would agree, if someone gets a kanji they saw on a tattoo parlor shop because it's "pretty" and "different", then I would agree.


You have an actual life experience to accompany your tattoo.
I'm talking about the other people. You can only imagine how many times I've seen 爱 tattooed on people... as if, yes, how clever, "love" means so much more when written in Chinese.

Okay Ms. goes away now. Glad you dropped in to our quaint little thread. Seems everyone's been on a different schedule than mine lately. I'm in, everyone else is gone, and vice versa.
Gotta go soon. Se y'all if I missed ya.

I know what you mean, NVG. It seems like I'm always available when no one is around. Have you left for the evening?

It's not exactly the same point, but you get something a bit similar with ogham. Each ogham symbol itself represents a letter of the Irish alphabet, but since it was the system of writing used by the druids theres also a tradition that each symbol represents a tree (mostly from the Celtic tree calendar - the romans had bulls and water carriers and twins, we had trees) and since trees have a long tradition in Irish folklore, mythology and druidic ritual it means that each symbol becomes imbued with meaning. So the letter "u" becomes "Ur" which is heather, which implies healing and renewal and I've just realised I'm quite possibly boring anyone who isn't me to tears.
Sorry guys. I read way too much. Babbling like a moonbrain is one of the symptoms.
*waves to NVG and 6ixstring* Hey guys

Good afternoon, everybody.
My, these threads go by so fast, I go out for one night and a new one pops out. I did have a great time though.
It's a wonderful day. Warm enough for me to wear flip flops but coll enough so I don't burn to a crisp. I love spring.
