Life lessons.

 *A scorpion, being a very poor swimmer, asked a turtle to carry him on his back across a river. “Are you*

*mad?” exclaimed the turtle. “You’ll sting me while I’m swimming* *and I’ll drown.”*


*“My dear turtle,”* *laughed the scorpion, “if I were to sting you, you would drown and I would go down with you. Now where is the logic in that?”*


*“You’re right!” cried the turtle. “Hop on!” The scorpion then climbed aboard and halfway across the river gave the turtle a deadly sting. As they both sank to the bottom, the turtle resignedly said:*


*“Do you mind if I ask you something? You said there’d be no logic in your stinging me. Why did you do it?”*


*“It has nothing to do with logic,” the drowning scorpion sadly replied.*

*“It’s just my character.”*


*So it is with SOME  humans too. No matter how nice or good you are to them, its just* *their nature and character to sting ( betray, rob, criticise, backstab, cheat, hurt, kill, blackmail, etc) for no reason.*


*May the Almighty ALLĀH protect us all from the scorpions 🦂 of Life.*
