Father, son, and their donkey

We all know the tale too well. People just like to voice their opinions. Worst still, they want more than just a listener, they want someone to take action and act on whatever they suggest.

The thing is: A thinks one thing, B something similar but with some variations, C can be something completely different. Most likely there are more than one answer to this question, somehow A, B, and C has set to call their version the ultimate truth, the truer than true.

Most of us are attached to our experience, we try and learn from what we did. Some repeatable results are science, some are not always repeatable, some are depending on other factors, some are derived from the subjects point of view, some are simply wrong. But as soon as we have our own version of the picture, we prescribe it on others. Even if we are not literally telling the next person about the loose step on the other side of the door, we anticipate its existence and believe the same thing will happen if we do not do something.

Being a victim once may lead us desiring to help the next person from repeating ourselves. Some schools of thinking may actually want others to face the challenge the same way they did - as if this is some form of fairness.

The untold ending of the tale: after losing their family donkey, the father and son stand at the side of the road preaching the passer-by not to listen or take any free suggestions or words from strangers. Some buy into their stories and some don't, either way they decide since the duo are more than perfect strangers to them, their words shalt not be listened.
