Can you understand, maybe even a little bit?
The difference between seeing, hearing, smelling and feeling a person blown to bits, and reading about it?
The difference between reading about 30,000 innocent people being killed, and meeting with the family of one innocent person killed by yer own side?
I submit there's a certain depth that comes about from having experienced some things, and reading about them and ONE can't know simply by reading.
Now, in your own clever way, tell me how that's not true, how you, and R. L. know so much without learning.
I'm curious.
