Hope that dosen't complicate things more..

But it said everybody blamed somebody.. That could be understood 1) Every one of them got blamed by someone or 2), the way I thought, everybody blamed one person or a few more (i e there's always someone/some who get all the blame by the majority)... Right?

I love that story.

Aleykum selam,

Haha.. I'm so sorry! I confused myself too.

You said and I quote "and so everybody is blamed.." but I understood it as following, due to the last line in the story;

Everybody blamed somebody, the majority blamed somebody... That there is one person who gets the blame by everybody. As it usually becomes in reality, one weak person gets all the blame.

My thinking is too complicated lol.

lol I have been told the same, but it wasn't about keeping life simple but prevent one's hair from getting grey, 'cuz I had as a child, I was about 12, some silver strings in the hair and they said it's my fault for thinking too much.

Heh.

Haha...my mother told me that story when I was little. I never understood it fully to be honest. And then in high school, I remembered it and wrote it down in my planner. Somebody else saw it and copied it. And then it became a kind of craze.
