I don't think you could every truly understand the reality experienced by most other people. I hate to simplify, but I don't want to type a book here either - consider a child born and raised in an American, middle class, very religious family, a child born in poverty in Harlem to a single mother with emotional and addiction issues, and a child born into excessive wealth. Are they likely to see 'truth' or 'reality' the same way?
