I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.

That is the fear: I have lost something important, and I cannot find it, and I need it. It is fear like if someone lost his glasses and went to the glasses store and they told him that the world had run out of glasses and he would just have to do without.

I had no shoes and I pitied myself. Then I met a man who had no feet,
so I took his shoes.

Everything that is not given is lost.
