When you meet a smooth-talking scorpion that absolutely convinces you that giving them a ride across the river could never end in tragedy because that doesn’t make any sense, remember that they are
A FUCKING SCORPION!!!
It’s not about what they say, or even what they believe because they really don’t think they’ll sting you and kill you both, because that DOESN’T make sense.
But that’s the whole thing, right? They are a scorpion. It is their very nature to sting in times of panic.
Don’t trust scorpions, even when they paint a rosy picture that doesn’t involve you drowning in the middle of the river. Because that will happen, and it’s because you trusted a scorpion.

Jk love the rants keep em coming 🤙
Don’t judge how I make it through the morning
yes also it is in the nature of sheep too follow the herd 🐑
You know what doesn't make sense? The Chewbacca defence.
I didn’t sense trauma from this post at all 😂🥹
None, I definitely did not get stung and drown in the river for being gullible.
Take care 🙏🏼
Hope you at least enjoyed the smooth conversation while it lasted 😅
Scorpions everywhere friend. But Karma is a bitch.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD TRUST THOUGH….A DOG…ALWAYS TRUST A DOG…ESPECIALLY THE CUTE LITTLE ONES WITH THE STINKY BREATH…THEY WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR RIDE OR DIE BUDDY
I read this in a recent book some weeks ago. Are you reading the same one?
It's from the "Scorpion and a frog fable".
Big lesson in there. Careful who you trust.
"Logic", cried the dying frog as he started under, bearing the scorpion down with him, "there is no logic in this!" "I know" said the scorpion, "but I can’t help it. It’s my character"
Crabs can’t kill you.
You can trust a crab 🦀 to at least not kill you.
But don’t take my word for it, I’m biased, I’m a crab 🦀

👍😁
True! Some people trusted the scorpions to be a metal band and ended up totally stung
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time ...
