Guess who is who? The carrot is happiness. The donkey is the person who is heading toward happiness by material work thinking that all this labour and money is bringing them closer, not realising that they have been harnessed to carry the load for the driver: fuelling the economy, the degredation of the planet and funding returns on investment. At the end of the day they are old and still not rich, certainly not happy and the carrot was never gained.
Of course where is the drivers load going? The driver is just following his own carrot and his life will be wasted too.
Ironic isn't it that the donkey needs only stop and look behind to understand that all along he was walking away from what he really wanted.. a cart of hay.
