Picture Words continued

There is a caveat.

Pictures may mean a thousand words, but that's entirely dependent on whether or not communication can take place at all. That is, a message has to be conveyed to you personally in order for a particular picture to be meaningful.



Take this cow for instance.
For me this cow means memories of Mexico. For other people it can be extremely offensive. Others still may even find him "cute." The variations are endless.



Now this picture.
This could be merely wood to you. On my end, this symbol is loaded with a ton of emotion/memories. Hence the capture on my phone.


In the end, there are some signs that are universal.

This will usually suffice pretty much anywhere (regardless of language).


The crux of the matter is to find a particular photo that is extremely meaningful to you personally. After all, if pictures express stories easily, it would be an injustice to not have favorite stories picked out. With that said...
