This quotation quite literally means that when someone does something, they do not realize how it affects the person unless they experience it themselves. Atticus is saying “treat people the way you want to be treated” in this quotation. The mob that night was filled with regular people Atticus and the children saw on a daily basis, but there they were not themselves.
