61. "understanding" v "experiencing"

Having been told the tales of their long-ago family helped them to understand

just as the young middle class black kids of today can "understand" what their parents & grandparents may have undergone.

they need not "experience" it, to "understand" it.

Bobby's affinity for the very poor started when he went south through Appalachia and saw it firsthand, and I'm sure that the experience HE had, led to the way he taught his own children, and why his son is so involved with poverty now..

Good parents teach their kids about the past, and plant the seeds ..If things go as planned, the fruit is in the next generation..
