The Scorpion and the Frog - an Oculus fable

[VizionVR]

Remember this for the next time.


The Scorpion and the Frog

  A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and 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, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp "Why?" 

		Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."

Master Mokurai passed by a young monk, Toyo, lying in the footpath. He stopped to watch him a moment, then returned to ask, “Why are you lying there?”

Toyo responded, “Master, you taught that to travel the path to enlightenment, one must become the path.”

“And have you become the path?” asked Mokurai.

“I feel a great peace,” Toyo answered.

Mokurai nodded and then stepped onto Toyo’s chest. “This path feels a bit soft,” he said to Nansen, bouncing up and down. “Try it with me.”

Nansen stepped onto Toyo’s stomach and began to bounce as well. “Master, it does seem soft,” he said. “Perhaps Obaku should try it with us.”

Mokurai signaled to Obaku to join them, and Obaku stepped onto Toyo’s groin.

“Do you feel a great peace?” Mokurai then asked Toyo.

Why did you highlight random words in blue?

I just copy pasta'd. I think the color adds spice so I left it. :).

It's colored because it's using a code block, used for posting source code. It may be better when copy-pasting to right-click and choose "paste as plain-text" to avoid formatting errors.
