Practicalities

It's like learning about something from a textbook.

Knowing every little thing about it, every fact, every piece of information. That doesn't help you really understand it unless you've experienced it.


You may know all the physics of parachuting off a plane. You may know exactly what to do, exactly where to land, and have every step memorized exactly.

But still, you've never actually jumped off the plane before, and that's something totally different.

Therefore, it is impossible for you to truly realize what it feels like on the other side of the fence.

.... to read is to understand, to see is to learn, to do is invaluable.

It's still NOT an excuse.
