What literature is, is the condensation of a person's experiences, thoughts, inspirations and memories into an articulable medium. It's almost a crystallization of their very being, analogised into something evocative.
So when you sit down and distill the meaning in literature, ferreting out the meaning and digesting it, you're incorporating part of that person into yourself, assimilating their perspective.
By expanding your own perspective by integrating another, you in yourself become more aware. You see new shades of colour in meaning, and the world itself changes in your mind.
