That timeless story does a great job of illustrating why it's pointless to change one's behaviour because of criticism from people who are not invested in your purposes and reasoning.



Talk about strange, my wife just read me this story this week from a book she reading. I had never heard it before. Going from never having heard it before, to having it brought to my attention twice in one week...crazy!

I showed her your post, and she was happy you posted this too!

Thanks for the confirmation!

Personal choice and individual goals don't tend to result in "one size fits all" behaviour, yet people tend to judge as though their own choices and reasoning are the standard by which the world should be judged. Buying into that logic only encourages more of the same.


Yikes! Well said, and gives me resolve. You make great points Pat! I wasn't thinking I was hungry, but you always give me food for thought!

Thanks friend! smile
