So it is too difficult to satisfy all. Pushpavalli
Oh yeah! It is true. It shows the mentality of the people who are not satisfied with the way others behave and they want to change them. This reminds me of the story we know. An old man and small boy were walking with a donkey to do some trade in a nearby village. After their work they are walking home. It is a long way. When they were walking with the donkey, people who saw them- told them-Why to walk with the donkey around. Hop on to it. So they did the same. after some time, another set of people saw them and told them that this is outrageous. why torture the donkey. So these guys go down. After some time another group saw them and they told the guys that why make an elderly person walk like that. So the elderly person got on the donkey. After sometime, another set of people saw them and were pity on the small boy and asked the elderly person why you are making the small boy walk. So the boy got on the donkey. After sometime ...... This goes on like that. I think this story reveals that you cannot satisfy anybody. To reveal the mentality of the people our forefathers had lot of proverbs and short stories to understand them.
