Perhaps what is inexpressible {what I find mysterious and am not able to express} is the background against which whatever I could express has its meaning.
Ludwig Wittgenstein suggests that there are aspects of our experiences that are beyond verbal expression. These ineffable elements form a crucial backdrop that enriches the significance of what we can articulate. In other words, the things we cannot fully express might be just as important, if not more so, than the ideas we can communicate. They shape our understanding and perception of expressed thoughts.
This idea highlights the limitations of language in capturing the full essence of human experience. While we may attempt to convey our thoughts and feelings through words, there remains a mysterious and profound aspect of life that eludes direct expression. This underlying layer enhances the depth and meaning of our verbal communications, suggesting that what is unsaid can be just as significant as what is articulated.
