How to Gain Perspective

I understand wearing sandals. I understand wearing socks. I understand wearing sandals with socks; I don’t agree with it, but I understand it.

My father sometimes wears sandals with dress socks. That I don’t understand. The closest thing to an explanation I can come up with is that he knows people will see his socks, so for appearances sake he chooses to wear his fanciest socks.

One could argue that people who wear socks with sandals are sending the message that they don’t care what other people think. Admirable, but if it were true they wouldn’t care when we mock them for wearing socks with sandals, and I can tell you from experience that they do mind. At least my father does.
