Justification 3: The Sock

The sock, a staple of human existence, is often overlooked, underappreciated, and carelessly discarded. But what if we were to look closer at the sock, not as just a piece of cloth, but as a manifestation of our own existential insecurities?

Consider this:

• We pair them up, only to have them constantly slip away from us.
• We invest so much time and effort into them, only to have them get lost in the wash.
• We try to keep them clean and organized, but they always seem to find a way to get tangled and knotted.

This is not just a commentary on the futility of human endeavor, but a reflection of our own insecurities. We are like the sock, constantly searching for meaning and purpose, only to be left with a pile of singles, alone and unfulfilled.

So, what can we do to overcome this existential crisis?

Perhaps we need to reevaluate our priorities, and find a way to pair ourselves with others, rather than constantly losing ourselves in the wash.

Or, maybe we just need to find a way to make our own socks, rather than relying on others to provide them for us.

Or, who knows, maybe we should just stick with the single, solitary sock, and learn to appreciate our own uniqueness, rather than trying to pair up with something that will inevitably slip away from us.
