So here's the deal... Everyday we are surrounded by words. Even now as you are reading this, you are experiencing word usage. Teachers, all throughout grade school, pound the meaning of words into us. The SAT's are a prime example of how education system is based around how many words we know (according to that test I dont know enough).
What fails to get explained to all of us is the opposite meaning of words, the dark side if you will. By this I don't mean the opposite of up is down and the opposite of the left is right. What I mean is if I tell someone they look beautiful today, am I not also delcaring what is not beautiful? When i say a person is smart, I am also saying what is dumb. There is no such thing as nothing. Nothing in it of itself is something.
Words are finite. They can only describe so much, and cannot go beyond it. When we say something, we are always leaving something else out. Think about it. Why is the quote "I Am who I Am," the perfect answer?

Nicely done man. Good choice of words and what a great reminder. It's so easy to not think about our words.
