The words from someone who is reading a description of the journey to the top of Everest are not likely to carry the weight of the words that come from someone who has made the journey.
Even someone who is a great speaker, has a fine intellect, empathy and imagination cannot communicate the experience of one who has actually had the experience. This is why we are sometimes moved to our depths by the simple words of one person and unaffected by the eloquence of another!
