Once there was a saint sitting besides a river. He noticed a scorpion drowning
in water. He put his hand below the scorpion to save it from drowning. While
taking it out water, he got stung by scorpion. His hand shook & the
scorpion was back into the water.
The saint got stung many times while trying to save the scorpion from drowning. There was another man who noticed this incident & couldn't help asking the saint the reason for saving the scorpion who was so ungreatful.
The saint replied, "I was doing my job and so was the scorpion".
Most of times our actions & response towards others gets decided by what response we got or expect to get from others. That is when we do injustice to ourselves & our purpose for existence. Our actions should be led by our goals, irrespective of what treatment we get in return...
