The origin of leather shoes


A long time ago, humans were still walking barefoot.

There was a king who traveled to a remote country because the road was rugged and there were many broken stones that stabbed his feet and hurt. After returning to the palace, he made an order to lay a layer of cowhide on all the roads in the country. He believes that doing this is not just for himself, but also for the benefit of his people, so that everyone will no longer suffer from stinging when they walk.

But even if you kill all the cattle in the country, you can't raise enough leather, and the money and manpower used are even less geometric. Although it was impossible to do it at all, it was still quite stupid, but because it was the order of the king, everyone could only shake their heads and sigh.

A clever servant boldly pleaded with the king: "King! Why do you want to work hard, sacrifice so many cows, and spend so much money? Why not just use two small pieces of cowhide to wrap your feet?" The King listened. I was amazed, but I also realized it now, so I immediately recovered my life and changed this proposal. It is said that this is the origin of "shoes".

It is difficult to change the world; it is easier to change yourself.

Instead of changing the world, it is better to change yourself first - "wrapping your feet."

Change some of your own ideas and practices to resist external invasions.

When you change yourself, the world in your eyes naturally changes.

If you want to see the world change, then the first thing that must change is yourself.
