"Because of our unique capacity for language, however, human beings needn't experience something directly to understand it, partially or sometimes even fully. Unlike other living creatures, which learn solely from their own experiences, man learns both from his own experience as well as-through storytelling- the experiences of others. Someone tells us a story and we are touched, we sympathize, we empathize, we are outraged, we understand. We come to conclusions."
