The shoe...Multipurpose object

The Shoe is not less in importance in man’s life than oxygen ( O). (Some of you might take it as an exaggeration) Man can not live and survive without both items i.e. O and the shoe respectively. An absence of O causes an immediate death whilst the shoe’s absence kills man every day. In breathing at rest we absorb about 0.2-0.3 litres/min of oxygen (depending on body size).The Shoe’s absence causes trivial to serious damages like Metatarsalgia, Calcaneal Apophysitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Morton's neuroma etc. The history of the shoe is as old as human’s .An Ancient man would use animal's skin to cover their feet. The prime use of shoe is nothing but safety of feet from harm. Its secondary purposes involve wiping out of harmful things from one’s way like crushing and removing the earthworm ,the small snake and the cockroache etc ,the cigarette ,the banana peel etc. In Asian culture parents also beat their offspring with the shoe (for this purpose parents usually uses the soft soul shoe).

But In modern times, it also soothes the fashion sense of a man ,costing from $ 1 to $160,000( Isn’t it ironic when 1.4 billion people lives at/below poverty line of $1.25 a day, according to world bank’s poverty estimates ??).The presence of thousands of the shoe brand like Apepazza shoes, Adidas shoes , Bacco Bucci shoes etc also divulges the significance of this petty item.

The Shoe worth foot not head but today the people has started using it for expressing their emotions. Human channelize their emotion through plenty of ways like writing, singing, acting, dancing, war, abusing, greeting etc. In all the mentioned ways the newest is “ the shoe throwing/hitting.The Potato and the egg throwing against the bad performance is the softer way of expression but a shoe throwing is rigid and the best way in a times when man’s selfishness is at its peak .Powerful and responsible of the world have stopped paying head to the voice of people so in their state of depression the people pick weapons to register their say which isn't appropriate. This tool of expression( the shoe throwing) has came into lime light when the Muntadhar al- azid threw his shoes at then U.S. President George Bush in the press conference in Bghdad,iraq to record his protest against the Iraq invasion.

Now this tradition is being followed by many people in the other parts of the world. So my suggestion for Protestants is that rather going for the harmful means they should choose mild but harsh tool like using their shoe to register their say. In short the shoe is not merely a foot wear but the strong tool of expression. Do tell me how far you agree with my suggestion?
