An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the
donkey & the old man walked. As they went along they passed some
people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was
riding.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed
positions.
Then, later, they passed some people who
remarked, “What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.”
So they then decided they’d both walk! Soon they passed some more people
who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to
ride.So, they both rode the donkey. Now they passed some people who shamed
them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey.
The boy and man figured they were probably right, so they decide to carry
the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip
on the animal & he fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story?
to please everyone, you might as well… Kiss your ass goodbye!
BONUS TRUTH: fits with the above insight.

and that is; ” Try to please everyone “
