Words (shoes)

In order to understand the concept of exhaustion you must replace all the elements in your life with shoes.
You explained this to me:
You are alone in a shoe shop full of customers. Let's say you have 50 different models in the shop. Shoes have to fit. So you have got each model in let's say five sizes. We all want to try at least two different sizes before we make up our mind, so you have to go and look in the stock for every customer who seriously consider a pair of shoes. It's a bit stressful because you then have to leave the shop. You do it of course as fast as you can. But every time you open a box, it's not the right size you find in it, or it's a different model or an unexpected color. None of the shoes fit the boxes. Your customers get impatient, some of them you were just about to sell a pair of shoes leave the shop. Others get angry with you.
You made a little pause.
This is how daily life situations are perceived when we are exhausted.
You took my arm that Saturday and let me out of the shoe shop.
