Multilingualism gives us opportunity to see the life in different eyes. When we learn a new language we open a new world of unusually culture. Our brains catch the information, lexicon, understanding of cultures, and other aspects of life, that are different from the native concepts, that build and add a new perspective of view. The language is an integral part of the culture, history, traditions, believes, etc.. There is none of it without language.
But, every language have the limits, and those limits depend on the vision of the world. There are more developed and less developed languages. Some languages have more letters and words to use in life, than other languages. When people use more developed language, their consciousness become also developed. When you speaking that kind of language, your consciousness will be developed wide and very smart. Because from childhood you already using more letters, words, and more complex sentences, which reflects your manner of thinking. Also, form that side, it reflects your vision of the world.
Thus, the complexity of the language reflects the complexity of the mind of the person that using that language. If a person uses several languages in full understanding, then this person will achieve fuller mind and fuller vision of the whole world.
I completely agree. Using language for writing or speaking is a form of thinking, and our ability to think is inextricably linked to it. It's more than mere vocabulary. Its part of a scaffold that becomes increasingly complex and strong enough--metaphorically--to support and incorporate other structures as well.
