Description
This illustration was inspired by an old story.
As explained on the Wikipedia; the basic situation in this fable is of a man and his son who are accompanied by their donkey and meet constant criticism from passers by of the way it is used or treated by them.
The story's purpose is to show that everyone has their own opinion and there is no way one can satisfy all. There are four or five different elements to the story that are ordered differently according to version. When both walk beside the donkey they are criticised for not riding it. When the father rides, he is blamed for making his young son walk; when the son rides, he is blamed for leaving his elderly father on foot. When both ride, they are berated for overburdening their beast. In later versions the father then exclaims that the only option left is to carry the donkey on his back.
Really, sometimes people do things in a strange way that might seem too difficult to others, but the end result justifies the means. I have figured, leading a simple life and minding my business makes a lot of sense. Yet, sometimes it doesn't.
