When you have experienced something similar to a person, then you can relate with that person better because you've been where they are but if you've not been where they are, then you certainly cannot relate because you've not experienced anything of such.



You cannot be an expert on what you have not been through, all you can say are other people's ideas or opinions about the matter because you are not experienced. You can only relate better when you have the experience.



Some think theories and other opinions they picked up somewhere can equate experience, it cannot. You cannot explain a particular incident more than the fellow that was present when it happened, he saw it all.
