Words vs Pictures
If a is greater than b, but b destroys a, a cannot be greater than b
If a picture is greater than words, but you claim words destroyed the picture, the picture cannot be greater than a word.
If civilisations were better off with only pictures, how come none of them have survived to this day?
As people progress, as they evolve, they go from being visual creatures to verbal. Take any long standing civilisation; it would have a much better, much richer literary tradition than artistic.

and they are passed on using symbols aka pictures that have a definite/set meaning.

words actually help one personalise things, i mean when i read something i form mental pictures of it, pictures which are mine, which mean better to me(thats the reason why movies made on books suck if u have read the book)....where as a picture imposes though it still gives u wings of interpretation but some how it still holds you, something which words don’t…
but then you can say that pictures convey things more closely, more presicely…you may not get the authors point or u may wander from what he wanted to tell but with pictures its less…
but then the things i said can be just interchanged for both…yeah i only depends on imagination and bith words n pictures can achive anything…..
yeah the Q still remains may be can’t be answered cos we may never realise their true potential cos they are like universe, u just cant measure it….
