What is a symbol? A symbol is often defined as “something

that stands for something else”. A symbol is something outside ourselves,

that which it symbolizes something inside ourselves.

Symbolic language is language in which we express inner experiences as if it were a sensory experience,

Symbolic language is language in which the world outside is a symbolic of the world inside a symbol for our soul and our mind.

Erich Fromm (p. 37)

The same symbol can have many different meanings.

It can affect different people in different ways.
