Yesterday I watched a TED talk by Lera Boroditsky on how language shapes the way we think. Among the many inspiring ideas that she shares, one example came back in my morning meditation. She talks about the Kuuk Thaayorre, an Aboriginal community in Australia. What's particular about this community is that they don't use words like "right" or "left". Instead, they use the cardinal directions.
