— James Baldwin

Simplified Meaning:
When you are hurting or upset, it can feel like nobody else has ever felt that way before. But when you read books, stories, or even history, you find out that many people have gone through similar or even worse things. For example, imagine feeling really sad because you lost a pet. It might seem like no one else understands how much it hurts. However, when you read a book where a character also loses a loved one, you see that your feelings are normal and many others have experienced the same pain. This helps you feel less alone and more connected to others. Reading can show you that pain and heartbreak are a common part of being human, and it can give you comfort and strength to get through tough times.
