I think you're right when you're saying that mathematics is just a language between others used by humains to describe their feelings... The main difference between The mathematical language and the others comes from the fact that in the first one, there are no flaws inherent in it's basics because they are not made by humans. Other languages can contain flaws (in fact all of them have some well known and very popular ones) as rules !!
Humans like to contradict themselfs, just for fun...we are indeed very complicated creatures (more than nature can ever build by itself).
