Is that some sort of story?

It's a fable.

Scorpion asks a frog for a ride across the river. Frog says no, because the scorpion'll sting him on the way over. Scorpion says that wouldn't make sense because then they'd both drown. Frog agrees, and the scorpion stings him anyways. Frog asks why, the scorpion says it's his nature.

Well, that situation definitely sounds familiar. Is there a reason it's on your mind?
