What Is the Nature of Our Natures?
The sun dies each night to let the moon shine .
Some say the world will spin out in ice , others say fire .
The scorpion asks the frog to transport him across the river . Midway the scorpion stings him and they both go down .
The scorpion laments “ that’s just my nature .”
What is the nature of our natures ?
