Comfortably Bound

Unlike any other creature on this planet, humans can learn and understand, without having experienced.  They can think themselves into other people’s minds, imagine themselves into other people’s places.
And many prefer not to exercise their imaginations at all.  They choose to remain comfortably within the bounds of their own experience, never troubling to wonder how it would feel to have been born other than they are.  They can close their minds and hearts to any suffering that does not touch them personally;  they can refuse to know.
