> Only a man > who is wide-traveled > and has wandered far > can know something > about how other men think. > Such a man is wise. - The only way to empathize with another person - is to "walk a mile in their shoes" - To see their culture, their upbringing, their circumstances - Without exposure to circumstances different than your own you wont be able to see other points of view - and will therefore have no idea how and what about other men think - To travel far and wide and learn about others *Get out of your comfort zone* - This is the path to wisdom and knowledge. - All growth happens outside the comfort zone - "Echo chamber" of similarity of whats already around you (your community) - wont understand your opponents or people different than you - you don't understand other arguments from other points of view and the logic and motivations behind them
