Reacting To Criticisms...

A man was once walking by a village, with his boy holding a donkey. A villager remarked, "How foolish, both of them are walking without using the donkey." The father immediately put his son on the donkey and continued their travel.

Another villager said, "The old man is walking. And the kid is coolly sitting on the donkey." Immediately, the old man put the kid down and sat on the donkey.

Few minutes passed, another villager said, "What a dad? So, heartless to make a kid walk." The villager was amused and decided that both he and his son will sit on the donkey and travel.

Yet another villager said, "What a burden on the donkey?". So, both the son and father got down from the donkey and walked carrying the donkey in their hands ;)))

Do u attimes carry a donkey because of reacting to others criticism? Or do u respond only to constructive feedback?
