Why do we Need World literature?

 The different type of literature we read helps us to understand one another. The words that's expressed in literature or from someone personal journal can be their emotions or feelings written on paper hoping that it will reach a  person who it can relate to. To me literature is like history it needs to be researched and understood before we make an decision on expressing what we've read. Literature sometimes can be exciting or hurting. The exciting part is when you can relate to what is written and can laugh with the author. The hurting part is when you can relate to the unchanging experience of death and can tie the author emotions with yours. I believe that without literature we would not understand the world and not have a voice to speak to let others know what we are feeling.
