It is believed that the language one speaks and the way they think are interconnected, so the words and grammar constructions you use reflect not only your own worldview but the one which is typical for all (or at least many) of the native speakers of your mother tongue. Wanna immerse into how Russians see the world? Then you can find a funny (some find it pretty controversial) article about what is called Russian linguistic worldview (in fact, about some typical words) written by a Russian linguist (Алексей Шмелёв) here (in Russian). For advanced students! :)
