Yes, true, but the more words/labels/images we apply to ourselves the more difficult it is to see the 'unspoken' reality. We condition ourselves away from the very thing we are here to find out. Madness, really. Also the 'nearest term' might be completely inaccurate, like when you play snooker after pool and realise your angles were actually way off because there's less room for error.
