Scorpion and Tortoise (Aftermath)

(Continued)

Tortoise moaned in agony, "Why did you stung me when you promised me you won't."
Scorpion replied conveniently, "I'm sorry... I can't help but to sting whichever that seems like a prey."

What's the nature of a scorpion? It stings.
What's the nature of a scorpion when it receive help? It stings..
What's the nature of a scorpion when it receives goodwill? It stings...
What's the nature of a scorpion which loves it's loved ones very much? It still stings!

In life context, it is still as true as it is in the analogy.

How ironic, we can adapt the nature that surround us in the world that we live in, but it is so hard to adapt to someone's nature, especially loved ones and even oneself.
