Do not care about what people say

Ignore, Live, and Let Live..

A story about Juha, his son and his donkey.

Enjoy~

It is said Juha once mounted on his donkey while his son
walked by his side. As they passed by another group of people,
the people said, “Look at this inconsiderate father! He rides the

donkey in comfort while his son is walking by him in the sun!”
Juha heard them, stopped the donkey, dismounted and let his son
ride instead.

They continued on, and as Juha felt better about himself, they
passed by another group of people. One of them said, “Look at
this disobedient son! He rides while leaving his father to walk in
the sun!” Juha heard them, stopped his donkey and mounted it
along with his son to save himself from people’s criticism.


They then passed by a people who said, “Look at these inconsiderate
people! They do not have pity on the animal!” Juha
then dismounted and said to his son, “Dear son, please descend.”
The son descended and began to walk by his father’s side.

They passed by some people who said, “Look at these two
foolish people! They are walking whilst no one is riding the donkey!
Why was the donkey created if not to be mounted on?”’
Juha screamed, and dragged his son. They sat beneath the donkey
and lifted it up on their shoulders!

Lessons :
Do as you please and do not care about what
others have to say. Pleasing others is an unachievable objective.
