    Language itself at its root is based on symbols with rigid meanings, which are far too easily open to individual misinterpretation in the message. Before language pictures were used and these were in part easier because the wider meaning of a picture allowed for individual perspectives to coexist on the subject with less disagreement. A mountain is a mountain. Food is food. Shelter is Shelter etc.
     

    i know what you mean, but it's not really the language itself that gives rigidness, it's the collective assumptions and projections onto others using the language between each other.

    the style of depiction that language has makes it easier for the above to exists, because it is simpler to do for everybody, compared to pictures.

    Exactly because, language is less restrictive in finding a fit representation compared to pictures.
