On the seashore, there was a fisherman, a child, an old man, and a mother. While playing, when a wave washed away the child's sandal, the child wrote on the sand: "The sea is a thief." When the fisherman caught fish, he wrote: "The sea is the provider of food." When the mother's son drowned in the sea, she wrote that "The sea is a murderer." When the old man found an invaluable pearl, he wrote: "The sea is a great giver." A wave came and washed away everything they had written. Then the wave said to them: "The sea is none of the things you write."
The wind blows where it pleases. Its turbulence and its calmness are its own decisions. People will keep saying many things. Everyone respects or insults the actions of others according to their own mindsets and character traits. Those who try to act according to everyone's interests will only end up in a lifeless state.
Whatever good deed you do, whatever noble act you engage in, there will always be a group that dislikes it. At the exact same time, there will be those who pray for rain and those who pray for it not to rain. Whether it rains or not, the rain will be blamed.
The solution is for everyone to behave in their own unique way. Those who wait for the favorable testimonial of the crowd will make mistakes. They won't do anything new; they will be afraid of everyone; they will only do things that others have done to gain favor. They won't leave even a single footprint of their own. The favor they receive is more important to them than the actual outcome. Such people will have below-average efficiency. Those who express their excellence in their own way, without causing harm to others, will continue to be catalysts (inspirations).
It is not that easy to remain true to oneself. Many pass away without even discovering who they truly are. One should consider the words of onlookers. But whether to take them at face value is one's own decision. Even those without knowledge and experience will come forward with opinions. Do not lose the stability of your own actions by giving unnecessary importance to all of them.
