human beings

In Class we talked about human being differ from our direct experience. Their was an example that someone who see's sounds as colors. This sounds hard to believe but i have seen a documentary on a blind kid who could see without eyes by clicking. He can see empty places and walk threw gaps of space but this is entirely self taught. This is rare but he made up in his mind that he wanted to live life to the full so their was nothing his friends cant do that he does such as playing video games and basketball. This guys Eye Doctor was very impressed by him and he was feautured in peoples magazine and on TV shows.

we can understand but not relate

We learned phenomena is based upon experience. Which means we learn through experience and we can understand because we have experienced it. I do believe people can understand phenomena that are experienced by people but cannot relate. I find that we can understand what experience the person is going through but we cant relate simple cause we havent been through the same thing they have.
