The Invention of Shoes

Ndrek GjiniContemplative

There are millions of inventions by man and still it goes on. All have had and still have a single purpose: to make a better and easier life for humans on this planet.

But shoes ... the invention of the shoe was an earl one. This damning invention - with its tenderness, seduced human feet so much as to make us not to feel the craving for fervent kisses of the earth: the first human betrayal of land.

Millions of other betrayals came later but the first one shouldn't be forgotten because everything began there - everything that causes suffering today and will continue to do so until we begin to walk barefoot again, until we start to passionately feel the kisses of the earth in every step we take.
