When people say they grok something it hurts me deep inside.

  Why?

    Maybe because to truly grok a person, you have to eat them [1]. I’d imagine that could hurt that person deep inside if they were alive when you started. [1] Per the end of A Stranger In a Strange Land

      I wonder if that whale groks Michael Packard.

      Eating someone isn’t required to grok them in a Stranger in a Strange Land, it’s an aid in doing so.
