Donkey Hugging the Cactus

Once a man said "Its like hugging a cactus, the more you hold it the more you hurt."
The other time the old said "you're like a donkey if you get trapped in the same hole again and again."
Hmmmm... hugging a cactus and acting like donkey could be a very bad combination since you have already known the problem, the risk, and the effect since the very begining but you still keep doing it. No one to be blamed except yourself if you feel the real pain by the end.
Then, Which one you thought you belong to?!?! Do you tend to be like the donkey or a person who's hugging the cactus? I thought I am both :(
