There is a saying in the world about walking a mile in another’s man’s shoes. It references prematurely passing judgement.
Shoes. We all wear them.
Sometimes, when the situation presents itself, one can loan their shoes to another and perhaps whatever journey the other is on can be made a little easier.
That is to say, “Here, try these on, they’ve already walked a good portion of what lies ahead of you; they know the way.”
