A farmer had a dog who used to sit by the roadside waiting for vehicles to come around. As soon as one came it would run down the road, barking and trying to overtake it.
One day, a neighbor saw the activity of the farmer's dog and when to the farmer and asked, Do you think your dog is ever going to catch a car ? The farmer looked deep into the eyes of the neighbor and replied,
That is not what bothers me. What bothers me is what he would do if ever caught one.
Many people in life behave like that dog pursuing meaningless goals.
