a scorpion moment

there was this hindu who saw a scorpion floundering
around in the water, he decided to save it by
stretching out his finger, but the scorpion stung him.
the man still tried to get the scorpion out of the water,
but the scorpion stung him again.

a man nearby told him to stop saving the scorpion
that kept stinging him. but the hindu said, "it is the
nature of the scorpion to sting. it is my nature to
love. why would i give up my nature to love just
because it is the nature of the scorpion to sting?"

don’t give up loving.
don’t give up your goodness.
even if people around you sting.
