From the bottom up, language develops from cave painting to Cuneiform, to many alphabets, to the confounding in the Biblical story and the inability to communicate. Then we begin to understand other languages better and better, then, in today’s world, Hindi, Mandarin, Spanish, or especially English enable one to communicate with over half the world’s population in an instant. This awesome power can be used in an instant to sow discord and violence, or to save children trapped in an cave in Thailand, or aid disaster victims quickly.
