Revelations tonight...
The Scorpion and theFrog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back.
The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too."
Replies the scorpion, "It’s my nature..."
Two monks were washing their bowls in the river when they noticed a scorpion that was drowning.
One monk immediately scooped it up and set it upon the bank. In the process he was stung. He went back to washing his bowl and again the scorpion fell in. The monk saved the scorpion and was again stung.
The other monk asked him, "Friend, why do you continue to save the scorpion when you know its nature is to sting?"

The frog is
satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the
frog.
The frog
feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp "Why?" Replies the scorpion, "It’s my nature..."

"Because,"
the monk replied, "to save it is my nature."
