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,
to stop saving the scorpion that kept on stinging him.
But the Hindu said:
"It is the nature of the scorpion to sting.
It is my nature to love.
Why, then,
should I give up my nature to love
just because it is the nature of the scorpion to sting?

How true indeed, why should we lose our good nature just due to the bad of others?
