today's free therapy

an old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. the boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked. as they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking & the boy was riding.

the man & 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 & man said they were probably right, so they decide to carry the donkey. as they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal & he fell into the river and drowned.

the moral of the story?

if you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your ass good-bye.
