Jackson Brown Jr. “A friend just told me that the key to a successful marriage was to argue naked.” –LeAnn Rimes “I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed, too — for being married so many times.” –Elizabeth Taylor “We were married for better or worse.

Have you ever been cheated or shafted in a deal and wondered why you trusted the other party when you knew better? Maybe the following story about the scorpion and a frog will help you to understand why some people do what they do. THE FROG & THE SCORPION
The Frog & the Scorpion
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting him, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that he would drown too if he stung the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung him despite knowing the consequences, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. I am a scorpion, and it is my character."
