Ah, well, maybe it's my own story I am looking at after all. We can never truly stand inside the mind of another, can we? Really? I think we can, as much as another person makes her or his mind available to us. The history of human thought suggest that we can do that.
Bravo, Slag. I think we can too. I think we do in degrees every time we really listen, and the degrees range from little to complete duplication -- although we don't experience that very often. I suppose society couldn't stand too much of that!! :D
