An old man and a young boy were traveling through their village with their donkey. The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked.

As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.

The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.

Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk."

They then decided they both would walk!

Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying "how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey".

The boy and man said they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story?

If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your butt good-bye!

 

If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your butt good-bye!

that's funny.
But so true.

 

Isn't it amazing how wide and varied opinions and perceptions can be? Of course we are all entitled to our opinions but how come so many people feel they have the right one!

 

heavenbound has it I'd say and also how many feel it is their position to judge someone else without having a clue what his thoughts guiding the activity may be .

 

I see you have meet my mother in law?

 

I guess I'm more of a Free-Spirited type of guy.

I do what I want, when I want, how I want, & where I want. Only 3 people right now in this world that I have to please. That is my 2 children & myself.

So all I gotta say is.......

If anyone is not pleased with what I do, when I do, how I do, or where I do then they might as well kiss my but good-bye!!!!
