Words are the problem.
The Hell's Angels put it this way: "Those who talk don't know, and those who know don't talk." Tibetan Buddhism teaches wisdom speaks little. Linguists and mathematicians describe the same quality with the symbol-grounding problem and Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem.
Some things can't be described in words. Doesn't matter how many books you read about how to ride a bike before you swing your leg over one.
And yet, certain similarities become useful because they're universal.
Most of life is about repetition. Mindless repetition can be awful grim, but mindful repetition ascends to a higher level: practice. Life goes better when you're better at life, and you get better through practice.
Words can distort practice. When I have an idea in my head about "how" things should be, I almost always get it wrong.
People like to make fun of the saying, "it is what it is." But all things are what they are, not what we call them. The closer we see things for what they are, the more effective we are.
