In reading this discussion I am bothered by the assumption that I cannot
understand the other. While it is true that I may never fully understand any human being (and this might even include myself), we all think and write about things we can only imagine. Otherwise all stories
would only have one ethnicity, with one gender and only ages that we have reached and only people at our socioeconomic level. I'd like to give humans a little more credit. We are terrible people, who have done
terrible things, but we are also great people who have done great things. Let's hope we can all empathize with the other and learn from each other and share our experiences, and the experiences of others. Isn't this what literature does? I feel this discussion is saying it can only be one way, but I feel I can know something without having experienced it firsthand.

"The
richest person in the world - in fact, all the riches in the world - couldn't provide you with anything like the endless, incredible loot available in your local library. You can measure the awareness, the breadth and the wisdom of a civilization, a nation, a people by the priority given to preserving these repositories of all that we are, all that we were, or will be. Our libraries are being eroded alarmingly by inflation. It behooves us - all of us - to stop the rot by the application of that prime preserver - money." Malcolm Forbes
