Experience

The author means that not everyone has or can experience everything so other people's stories can help fill in the gaps that we have in our own lives. Also we can only experience a few issues or experiences in our own community when we hear other people's experiences we can learn about issues that we may not have hear of otherwise. I would tell a story in my own life about how I played football in high school. I was not the biggest or fastest kid on the team but I made up for it with work ethic and intensity.
