Perhaps you know the fable…
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream. The scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, “how do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion says, “because if I do, I will die too.”
The frog is satisfied and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog.
The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink. Now knowing that they both will drown, he musters up enough strength to gasp “but why?”
The scorpion replies: “It’s in my nature.”
When new information is revealed, shock and indignation are totally appropriate. But when someone does some slightly different version of what they always do, why would we be surprised?
Instead, we should dig deep on how and why we allowed that level of unconciousness to arise.
