Yeah, but look at for cryin' out loud...
I agree there are lots of point-of-interest chunks floating around in that soup, but check out the aroma...
In order for anything as richly nuanced as words to have "no meaning", means that this person has become alienated from purpose and is leaching his identity into a nebulous morass of spasmodic, amorphousness.
Know what I mean?

Interesting Youtube video i watched.
What i get from this short story is that words do not have meaning.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrXQAd9bc1M

What do you think?
You mean that you believe that words have no meaning,
or that according to the video words have no meaning?

Interesting subject from a psychological pov.
There have been many studies on babys and language
etc.

But from a spiritual pov, words have not only meaning,
but much power, right?

Sorry I am maybe not following your thoughts.

The "video" from the OP reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut books: pointless, but interesting nonetheless.
Hey!
Interesting pointlessness is Kurt's whole point!
"American author noted for his pessimistic and satirical novels. Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s best known work is SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE (1969), which was based on his experiences in Dresden, Germany, where he was a prisoner-of-war at the destruction of the town in 1945. Vonnegut used fantasy and science fiction to examine the horrors and absurdities of 20th century civilization."

I grew up in his home town, and remember his dad's hardware store.
"Unknown to most Hoosiers, the Vonnegut family has left an indelible mark on Indiana. Kurt’s great grandfather, Clemens Vonnegut, established Vonnegut Hardware Company in Indianapolis after arriving in America from Germany. Vonnegut hardware would remain a staple of downtown Indy for over a century. "
