In this quote, the speaker is saying that a person can never truly understand a situation until he or she is in that situation. He was not there when the glass broke, so he did not know how upset it was. He also did not know how it would respond when it felt threatened. He was not even there when the person who broke the glass was angry or upset with him or her.
