Simplified Meaning:

Books can give you a lot of information, but they might not always make you feel something or touch your emotions. Imagine reading a textbook about World War II. It tells you about battles, dates, and names of important people. However, it might not help you truly understand what soldiers felt, how scared people were, or how families suffered. Now, think about talking to a war veteran instead. They can share personal stories that make you feel the emotions they felt. You hear their voice crack when they talk about a lost friend, and you see tears in their eyes. This experience gives you a deeper understanding compared to just reading facts. So, the idea here is that while books can be very informative and teach us a lot, they may lack the emotional connection we get from personal stories and experiences. If you want a deeper understanding of something, try pairing what you read with listening to real-life experiences. This way, you not only learn facts but also understand people's feelings and stories better.
