"Academic knowledge" -- from reading histories, etc. -- cannot convey
that emotional impact.
Or, as Tom Petty said quite succinctly:
"It's one of those things
You gotta feel to be true"
Unless you experienced it, it's hard to profoundly understand it. I
believe that's why giving someone advice so rarely works... until they
experience it for themselves, it's not "true".
