On the other hand I feel ashamed to
say to anyone that my experience is the only real one; and I know
that he will reply that he could say exactly the same thing about
his experience. This seems to lead to a silly
quibble. Also
76.
I am told:
“If you pity someone for having pains, surely you
must at least
believe that he has pains”.
But how can I even
believe this? How can
these words make sense to me? How could I even have
come by the idea of another's experience if there is no
possibility of any evidence for it?
