For how long you can carry your burden ?

here's a story:
Two religious Brothers were about to cross a river when they saw a young lady crying by the river shore. She could not cross the river because of the strong currents.
On of the religious Brothers offered to lift her up and carried her across. Upon reaching the other side, the girl profusely thanked the Brother, and the the two proceeded to walk.
After a while, the other religious Brother started to berate his companion for carrying the girl. " You have violated our rule of not touching any woman." the Brother, kept on repeating his displeasure at what the other did. This did not stop as they walked.
After three hours of such talk, the religious Brother who carried the girl stopped and said, " Brother, I left the girl at the shore three hours ago. You are still carrying her!."

answer : Usually, I will carry my burden until a period of time pass away. Depending on the situation, I think its best to let things work it self out. That may be easier said than done.
