OK, guess I've been too cryptic here. What I'm asking is can a person who has not somehow "touched" a situation or way of being emotionally, through their own experience or that of a loved one, even begin to comprehend or appreciate what that situation/mode of being is all about?

we should be able to learn from others' experience. "should" being the operative word here. i have a dog who learns from the spankings that other dogs get!...but as a general rule, we don't. that's why history repeats itself.

It rather depends on how well you know the heart of the other person. I have found that by listening intently and learning the hear of friend that you can experience that person's joy and pain almost as if it was your own.
