We are people who thrive on signs! We may not be too conscious of it, but signs enter into our significant experiences everyday: the green of the traffic light on my my way to school, the "observe silence" sign inside the library, the smile from a friend from school. Signs simplify our life. Imagine how much worse the traffic situation in our city would be if we relied on traffic aides at every intersection armed with bullhorns.
Signs remind us that we are people who make sense in our world through our senses. Sometimes, however, we find ourselves trapped by the convenience of signs that we lose sight of the reality that the signs point to.
