Combat boots Quote by Stanley Victor Paskavich
““Empathy "Walk a mile in an others shoes." What shoes? Baby shoes? Gym shoes? Combat boots? Sandals? Flip flops? Shoes that are too big? Shoes that are too small? What if the persons never wore shoes? Enough with the shoes. Empathy " Feel the burdens and woes from an others head to their toes.””
