An open-minded person could learn a lot about others by analyzing the type of shoes that they are wearing. I'm not saying that they can judge them wrongfully but often times one's shoes reflect the kind of person that is wearing them. Take for example the artists that paint their white vans or the ones that customize their shoes online. While there are people that take their time and effort to customize their own shoes by hand there are also the people that are content with the basic shoe presentation and that's just how different we all are from one another. Shoes are everywhere and it could be said that they have become more and more divergent just like our country has. Whether they are running shoes, flats, sandals, stilettos, glass slippers or sparkling ruby slippers, they all come in the same packaging but the beauty of this is that each person has the right to wear their shoes, walk on their shoes, and show their shoes how they choose to.
Or do you really think that Dorothy could've worn Cinderella's glass slippers better than her own ruby slippers?
See, those ruby slippers were seen to hold great power; the power to be where home was. We choose to think that these materialistic things, these shoes are the power but what good are the shoes without someone to fill them in? The power is vested in the people that wear their shoes and how they wear them. The Wizard of Oz depicts a powerful message where these ruby shoes symbolize something greater than just beautiful shoes. In short, the Wicked Witch schemes to get a hold of Dorothy's ruby slippers and when she does she is shocked and unable to lay her hands on them. The message I perceived from here is this; while there are artist and people that choose a basic preference there are also people that are more content with living their life like someone else's. In this case, someone else's shoes. When people try to fit themselves in the shoes of someone else they will eventually feel the shock because those shoes are not for them.
The shoes just doesn't fit.
The shoes you wear today represent who you are and where you walk today. How you decide to walk is ultimately up to no other person but you. So, I encourage you to walk on your own yellow brick road and wear your own shoes. Whether they are yellow, checkered, floral or plaid remember that there are people with different shoes than yours and their differences don't make them any less or more important than you, but equal to you.
