I think what captivated me the most about this theory was Dr. MB's diagram/drawing/book/text thing. I'll be honest, I still don't fully understand how this criticism is applied to reading, but the idea of the text being inside of everything else, which is just a larger text, really got me thinking. To think that a single text exists inside of everything else (which is all a text), and that nothing exists outside of everything, is mind boggling. If it doesn't exist in language, it doesn't exist. Trying to imagine something that doesn't exist is absolutely mind-blowing.

My question for today is: if something only exists if it exists within our language, and one language has a word for something while another does not, does that thing really exist for the speakers of the language that does not have a word for it?? Maybe this is a silly question, because to someone it exists, but perhaps not to everyone.
