Dilemma Either Way

We hear about lot of young people not getting jobs for long.
This leads to certain situations at home and outside.

People at home do not tolerate unemployed youngsters.
To avoid taunts, they go out which also attracts unpleasant comments about how irresponsibly they are roaming around wasting their time.
Most would like to stay at home to avoid comments from outsiders but cannot bear to put up with comments from within the family.
Either way its a dilemma for them not knowing which way to turn, which way to go, how best to respond to embarrassing queries from all and sundry.
Dilemma until they find a job. The spirit is to keep trying until one succeeds. There is always light at the end of the tunnel or should we say there is always light after dark!

That reminds me of the father-son-donkey story.
Father and son once set to the market towing their donkey along.
People walking by comment that the boy could ride the donkey instead of walking.
Down the lane some comment about the donkey's load.
Some time later, another passerby comments why both father and son should not ride the donkey.
Others laugh and pity the donkey and suggest that the poor donkey should be carried by the father and son instead of carrying them!
Until they reach the market they go through all this.
Who's right we will never know. But we know one thing for sure.
People will comment any which way. Do your thing as best as you feel is right for you.
Do not take comments to heart but do learn from them as there may be something to learn out of it.

Mahalakshmi.
