If you get this, you understand social culture...

New on Steemit. This should show which direction my posted thoughts will go.

A man and his son were walking their donkey to market. They passed by a few old men drinking tea outside area-shop who
started to laugh at them.
‘Look at those fools’ the old men said, ‘Don’t they know a donkey is for riding?’
The father felt embarrassed and lifted his son onto the donkey. A few minutes later they passed another group of men
chatting by the side of the road. The men looked over and shook their heads, disapproving.
‘Do you see that?’ said one man to another, ‘That boy has no respect for his father. He rides on the donkey while his father
walks.’
So the father told his son to get down, and climbed up onto the donkey himself. Before long, they passed a group of women.
‘That man should be ashamed of himself’ the women frowned, pointing. ‘He takes the donkey for himself and makes the poor
boy walk.’
Straight away, the father pulled the boy up on the donkey with him. But just before they reached the market two people
fishing in the river called out to them.
‘Hey, you two lazy oafs! Can’t you see you’re overloading that poor donkey? Donkeys aren’t big enough to carry two.’
Now the father and son just didn’t know what to do. They decided that they had no choice but to pick up the donkey and
carry it. They had only gone a few steps when the donkey struggled and they all overbalanced and fell into the river. They
managed to get to the bank and pull the donkey out, but arrived at the market soaking wet and with the laughter of the whole
town ringing in their ears.

And what does this mean to you??
