Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from a 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 and commented, the husband is the head of the family. How can a wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on the foot? Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

Further on home 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 you can hold 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 thier shoulders.

Later on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost thier balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.

THUS, DO NOT BE TOO BOTHERED BY OTHER WORDS IF OUR CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR.

Cluttered conscience? Isn't that what leads one down the wrong path? Sometimes having to many to choose from?flowerforyou
