The Saint and the Scorpion Motivational Short Story
Once, a saint was walking by a riverbank when he saw a scorpion drowning in the water. The saint decided to help the scorpion and reached out to grab it.
However, as soon as the saint touched the scorpion, it stung him.
Despite the pain, the saint did not let go and instead gently pulled the scorpion out of the water.
As he did so, the scorpion stung him again and again.
A passerby saw the saint struggling with the scorpion and asked why he was helping it when it was only causing him pain.
The saint replied, “It is the nature of the scorpion to sting, and it is my nature to help. Why should I give up my nature to help just because it causes me pain?”
The story teaches us that it is important to help others, even if they may not appreciate it or even harm us in return. It is our nature to be compassionate, and we should not give up on that just because it may be difficult or uncomfortable.
