Swahili proverb
...wandered into a shoe store. A lone customer stood at the display rack, turning the shoes over, one after another, to look at their soles. Jessica recalled the proverb "Hell is a stylish shoe." A salesman greeted her at the door, a young man with a shaved head and a black turtleneck. Too intimate from the start, he held each selection so close to her face that she had to lean back to get a better look. She felt his breath as he pressed some studded sparkly sneakers on her. Jessica found it fascinating that he thought she would want these, or the next pair he held up--stiletto-heeled jobs that seemed lewd, as did his smirk. The salesman didn't conceal his disappointment when she bought a pair of marked-down Vera Wang flats. She bought them because they seemed so pedestrian. Men preferred women teetering so she chose to walk like a Neanderthal.

indian proverb
Friends, the ancient word is dead; the ancient books are dead; our speech with holes like worn-out shoes is dead; our poems have gone sour; women's hair and nights have gone sour; my grieved nation, in a flash, you turned me from a poet writing for love and tenderness to a poet writing with a knife; our shouting is louder than our actions; our swords are taller than us; friends, smash the doors; wash your brains; grow words, pomegranates and grapes; sail to countries of fog and snow; nobody knows you exit in your caves; friends, we run wildly through streets; dragging people with ropes; smashing windows and locks; we praise like frogs; turn midgets into heroes; in mosques, we crouch idly; write poems and proverbs; and pray God for victory.

Growing complexity and interdependency may make such outcomes more likely in today’s world, but they are hardly a new phenomenon.

For want of a rider, the battle was lost. For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost.” This version was published by Benjamin Franklin in 1758, and he introduced it with the warning that “a little neglect may breed great mischief.

I complained about having no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet
Persian Proverb
Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t. ​— ​Bill Nye Something that I forget time and time again is that the person in front of me is usually trying their best. It can be tempting to judge people based on specific actions. It can be so easy to label someone as bad, selfish, obnoxious, or arrogant—sometimes even evil. We rarely stand in the shoes of others, see through their eyes, and truly understand their perspectives. But if and when we catch ourselves displaying those same behaviors, we have the opportunity to see and understand the context that may have given rise to them. In a similar way, as we grow in knowledge, experience, and wisdom, we can be lured into thinking that we have all the answers—that we know best. There’s something intrinsically dangerous about that rigidity of belief and unwillingness to learn from others. As the Zen proverb goes, “It takes a wise person to learn from his or her mistakes, but an even wiser one to learn from others.
