An elderly person bought a donkey and was taking it to his village along with his young son.
They heard passers-by commenting, “How foolish is this person who is walking along with the donkey instead of riding over it?”
The old man obliged them and rode the horse and his son was walking.
The passers-by again commented, “Look at this old man, he is riding the donkey like a lord while his young son is walking. He has no compassion for his son at all”
He thought that he is doing something wrong and asked his son to ride on the horse and he started walking along with the donkey.
The passers-by this time commented, “Look at this, the old man is walking and this young boy is riding joyously. There is no respect for elders at all these days.
The old man got puzzled and asked his son to help him to carry the donkey and both of them started carrying the donkey and passers-by had a heartful laugh seeing these two mad guys carrying the donkey instead of riding over that.
Then both of them decided to ride on donkey’s back. Again, passers-by commented, look at these two, they have no mercy of this poor donkey.
Can you tell me what option is there here for the father and the son?
More we try to please the world, more miserable we become!
