Long, long ago, humans walked barefoot.
A king was traveling in some remote country where the road was so rough and full of broken stones that his feet hurt and hurt.
When he got back to the palace, he gave an order that all the roads in the kingdom should be covered with cowhide.
This, he thought, would not only benefit himself, but also benefit his people, so that they could walk without the pain.
But even if all the cattle in the country were killed, there would not be enough leather to raise, and the money and labor would be too little.
It was impossible, and even foolish, to do so, but at the king's command they could only shake their heads and sigh.
A wise servant ventured to offer advice to the king: "o king, why do you want to make a public sacrifice by sacrificing so many oxen and spending so much money? Why don't you just cover your feet with two pieces of ox hide?"
The king was surprised, but he understood, and at once withdrew his order and adopted the proposal. It is said that this is the origin of "leather shoes".
It's hard to change the world. It's easier to change yourself.
Instead of changing the world, change yourself first -- "wrap your feet around".
Change oneself some idea and course of action, in order to resist external invasion.
When you change, the world in your eyes will naturally change with you.
If you want to see the world change, the first thing you must change is yourself.
"If the heart changes, the attitude will change; if the attitude changes, the habit will change; if the habit changes, the life will change.
