When Socks Don’t Hold Up

Alas, I threw them away. I couldn’t get another day out of them. I should have thrown the other pair away too, but I wore them. Socks that creep down one’s legs are socks that should be thrown away.

                               

We are better at evaluating socks than thinking. It doesn’t matter whether our thinking fails us day after day, we keep putting the system of thought back on. We pull it up, it falls; we pull it up again, it falls. We deny the socks are falling. We are a people walking around with falling socks, with socks creeping down into our shoes. Some go sockless and think they’ve avoided the problem, but their thinking and belief systems fail too, they are just in denial. Better not to look at our feet, better not to look at another’s feet; than to admit that socks are falling.
