Experience informs intuition. But it does more than that: Experience sets the frame within which we analyze and interpret what we perceive. You would no doubt expect, for instance, that the "wild child" raised by a pack of wolves would interpret the world from a perspective that differs substantially from your own. Even less extreme comparisons, such as those between people raised in very different cultural traditions, serve to underscore the degree to which our experiences determine our interpretive mindset.

When you have compassion for people who are different from you, especially when they are suffering, you see the world from their perspective, and that additional vantage point brings you closer to seeing things as they are, not as you imagine them to be.
