Al told me a story just now. It is about the scorpion and the frog. He said it is a story about himself so I asked if he were the scorpion or the frog. He said scorpion. So this is how the story goes...
Once upon a time, a scorpion was at the river bank. He saw a frog on a lily pad and asked the frog to help him cross the river. The frog refused initially, because he was sure that the scorpion will sting him. But the scorpion said if he stung the frog, he would die from drowning. So the frog piggy-backed him and swam towards the other side of the river. The scorpion, true to his nature, stung the frog. When the frog asked him why he did that for, the scorpion replied:
"It's in my nature."
So what am I supposed to infer from this story? That I shouldn't get myself involved. That he can't help but kill both parties. I should be a smart frog and swim away the moment I see the scorpion right? My solution is: Give him the god damned lily pad. And pushed the lily pad. Help at a distance. Love from a distance. There's always beauty in distance. Ugliness only appear when you see something up close. He would give in to his nature and hurt both parties. Both parties die in the end. Is that the kind of association?
Whatever.
Me: Don't worry. I won't become another frog. I would have asked you to take the lily pad and i'd give you a push across. And don't forget if you sting you would have died as well.
Him: Tts the whole idea. It's my nature, even if it costs me my life.
Me: Whatever it is, everyone loses in that situation. My question is then are you sure you're the scorpion?
Him: Without a shadow of a doubt
Me: Alright then. So I shouldn't touch even right? That's what you are trying to say right? Then I won't.
Him: I dun mean tt. Just telling u who I am
Me: Nvm. I will interpret it the way i want. Maybe it will be easier too. The frog shouldn't even engage the scorpion in the conversation in the first place. She should have ran at the sight of him.
I will NOT become one of those girls who pester you with 10 missed calls a day. I get the hints. I will leave you alone now. Don't come trifle with me. Please.
I might not think straight and just decide to do a Juliet.
