Words

"Language is the Rubicon that divides man from beast." Max Miller

Words baffles and amaze me. Do they exist at our will or is thier definition higher than our perceptions? Is my perception of what a word means in the moment the most significant thing? Does the way we interpret a word change what it means? Theoretically it's pure definiton remains but it bears little relevance when the assumptions we have are what is being used. Do words have any intrinsic value or only the vlaue our use of them grants?
