PERSONAL PERCEPTION
Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be
another
man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way
home,a
boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the
donkey?"Upon
hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked
besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is
the
head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband
is on
foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride
on
the donkey.
Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can
the
man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey.
Then,
they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up
the
weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the
husband
and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on
their
shoulders.
It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the
donkey
was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the
river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone
condemn
you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the
future.
Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is
clear..
