A SCORPION MOMENT
Author: Unknown
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 should 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.
Tension of the opposites: nature to love and nature (of the scorpion) to sting. life is a series of pulls back and forth. Which side wins? Love wins. Love always wins. It is important to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.
