SHOES

They are pairs

They achieve the same goals

They walk alternately together

None is higher or lower than the other

A pair of shoes does not have the same sides,

But it's the opposite

If one of them is missing,

Then the other has no meaning

You look down on them, 

Consistently.

You step on them, 

Constantly. 

You make them protect your feet, 

Anywhere. 

You make them carry your whole body, 

Everywhere.

Ordinary shoes will take you anywhere

But good shoes won't take you everywhere

If you make them dirty,

They will take you to poor places

If you make them clean,

They will take you to beautiful places

You choose them to,

Not they choose you to.

It's all come back to you.
