Hello.
You should read up on Buddhism ... maybe you have already. Since you're on this board I assume you are having some difficulties in your life, and Buddhism says we all suffer, and proposes useful, skillful ways to end suffering.
I highly recommend Thich Nhat Hanh.
Have you been reading post-modern philosophy? Isn't the term 'language game' from Wittgenstein?
Anyhow, I agree about the limitations of concepts. Fostering a sense and commitment to lovingkindness, however, is an action and a way of being, not a concept.
