Question

Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches meaning

Answer 1

It is absolutely true that only the wearer knows where the

shoe pinches. It is very easy to make fun of people in trouble;

In the chapter, The Letter, we see this transformation in two persons;

first Ali,

the second was the postmaster.

Ali gave up hunting innocent animals after Miriam suddenly left him. The pain of separation made him sensitive to the pain of the animals.

The postmaster was also transformed after a painful experience. The arrogant postmaster, who earlier had behaved so callously and rudely with Ali for inquiring about whether there was any letter for him from Miriam, was completely transformed after he himself underwent the pain of not hearing any news about his own sick daughter who lived in a distant town. Now he empathized with Ali. He wondered he could not bear the suspense concerning his daughter's health only for one night, and how Ali must have gone through the painful suspense concerning his daughter, Miriam, for five years.
