There are potentially an infinite basic set of potential versions of how one could approach reality

 Given this, the best way to see all human spoken languages are each at best as individual group hypnotic states achieved by brainwashing children from in the womb on up into Adulthood. There is no one perfect one that I know of either. All are relative to each other so far in what they do and don't do for the individual or group awareness of a family or tribe or nation or world.

There is a lot of freedom this can give an individual who understands this even though some people not brave enough to face this might feel insecure at just how relative their reality is to all others existing or potential for the human beings we are.

There is a statement that recognizes this basic truth and it is: "There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so."

What this means is that the person defining reality makes up what is good or bad in each and every moment. 

What we are taught from cradle to grave may or may not be the best system for us individually or collectively. So, over time versions of reality change in the form of mores. But, even these changes are suspect in many different ways.

For example, all changes I have seen since the 1950s in how people behave culturally here in the U.S. are not better or worse in any significant way but only different than what was done and said then.

In some ways the old ways were wiser than what we are doing now. Now is much more experimental and unproven long term in many different ways. Then what we did worked more. Now is more of a science experiment in many ways where we don't know the real outcome of any changes we have made in actions or mores and what this will do individually or in groups as time progresses onward. So, we have many more unknowns than we have knowns at this point regarding all changes individually and collectively since the 1950s or World War II.
