Or not. Our thoughts are many times reduced to language and logic. In fact, can you now think, for example, another person apart from me, you, he, we, you they...? My sensation of things in nature is affected by the word used to describe it. Not totally, but it does have a place. And anyway, what if you have two different smells from two plants which appear exactly the same in all our other senses, one is a rose one isn't. How do you define their difference? The chemical composition.
