121. I agree with this as well. We wouldn't have the word

"empathy" in our language if you had to experience something to have any clue what it is like.

There are some experiences on the extreme edge of human experience for which it might be more true than for other experiences.

Being a parent happens all around you all the time. Definitely NOT an experience on the extreme edge of human experience.

I also believe that the limits of empathy and imagination do serve to divide us, do allow for more abuse in the world than there might otherwise be.
