Language Game is universally understood in a not so good sense and has a negative outlook towards language and life. I would like to express my understanding of Prayer – Language Game.
Why do I call it a language? Because you and I, as we call ourselves ‘humans,’ language is apparently a necessity, a need therefore it can be seen also as a necessity in Prayer. Language is simply using words, signs, symbols, meanings, concepts, ideas or whatever you think of…Now, thinking of language, is language something complex or simple, and I leave it you for your opinion on this query, but for me it simply means in a simple way to communicate – who you are? And what you are? You and I stay in communion, in connectedness with the other. You and I use language to know, to understand, and to be understood. Language is needed for conversation, for dialogue, for living our lives to the full.
Why do I call it a game? I know for certain that to play a game we need two players, be it on the ground of physical, or psychological, or ethical, or virtual, or as a matter of fact even spiritual. So speaking of spiritual, it is very much got to do with PRAYER.
