*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.*
