Today's thoughts are about shoes and how we wear them tight. Or too big. Sometimes not at all. But we sure don't like to put them on when challenged to walk a mile in somebody else's kicks. A few steps taken as someone "less" or "other than" is–let's be honest here–an affront to my everloving ego. I'm the star of the movie that plays on a continuous loop inside my tiny reptilian brain, damn it! No supporting roles for me, I tell you. And I'm not a method actor. I can pretend.
Pretend.
Empathy is irksome and outdated, like busted umbrellas and mismatched sneakers left in the Lost & Found.
