People & Literature enrich us

" We are all formed from what other people give us: first our parents and then other people near us. Literature opens to the infinite this possibility of interaction and thus enriches us infinitely…” (page 17)
I totally agree with this quotation because our knowledge is firstly constructed by what other people say. We hear different opinions and different experiences. According to that we form our criteria. We create our first aproaches about life, history, politics,etc. In fact, our personal and external experiences give us knowledge about the world.
However, when we begin our formal education (school, high school, university) we beging to bring, erase and certify our thoughts and opinions. Why? because we read more, we talk to other people, we know different kind of opinions, not just opinions from our family. Thus, we begin to change some ideas and certify other ones. At the university thanks to our readings, and obviously between discussion with classmates and teachers, we try to reach a better understanding about world and we try to clarify aour thoughts.
In that sense, literature gives us another important tool to reach what we want to. As the quotation says "Literature opens to the infinitive this possibility of interaction" I think this is unquestionable. Throught reading and disscusion we can compare and being more critical. In this step of our life we can listen to people's stories such as when we were children or adolescents but now we compare and criticize because we are having a wider vision, thanks to literature. Therefore, people and literature enrich us but at the end, we decide which of them is more specific.
