Once a Snake, Always a Snake

A girl was strolling across the park one fine afternoon. Halfway throughout the journey, a snake slowly lurked in front of her. Initially scared, this girl immediately shut her eyes tightly and prayed that this menace will mind its own business and let her be.

Few seconds passed and she slowly opened her eyes, hoping that the worst was over. Unfortunately, the snake was still there, slithering gracefully in circles just a few steps away from her. She felt that this snake was different from the others.

She looked at the snake carefully from head to tail. Its scales were perfectly toned and beautiful. Its fiery red eyes were less intimidating and instill no fear at all. These features are so perfect they were inviting the girl to pet the snake on the head. But everyone knows that a snake bites.

Less calculated but still cautious, the girl asked the snake, "Will you bite me if I pet you?"

The snake smiled and said, "No, of course not."

Doubts filled her mind and she commented, "But all snakes bite. This is a never changing fact."

The snake responded, "You are correct. But look at me, do I look like a snake that can bite?"

Mesmerized by its beauty, the girl didn't think twice but petted it on its head almost immediately. In an instance, the snake bit her hard, so hard that the girl fell down on the buttocks. She screamed, "WHY DID YOU BITE ME? I THOUGHT YOU WERE DIFFERENT?"

The snake calmly replied, "You knew I was a snake when you first saw me. What did you expect?"

You can never change someone into who they aren't. The worst thing you can think of is that you are so great you can help change a person. The real changes come from themselves, not a shit you do is going to affect them. And no, temporary changes don't count cause we're talking about permanent changes. Stop kidding and tricking yourselves, a snake will always be a snake.

"not a shit you do is going to affect them."

that will lead to "JUST GIVE UP AND LET IT BE"
Yes , a snake will always be a snake , but that is NOT AN EXCUSE to stop trying and give up .

There is always hope .
If your son is into drugs , you just let him be ?

Wait until he wants to change himself right ? what happens if that never come ? what happens if that time is too late ? you will regret your whole life , for NOT TRYING .

i guess if you take gapnap's example, where son getting into drugs,

i think chun keat is rite. becoz i always believe that change will only occur if he or she wants to change. nothing nobody can do that is goin to make them change.

but its also a depends kinda thing. everything in life is a depends kinda thing.

gapnap: hahaha you are very right, clem. i agree with you too, but i forgot to say that this was written about relationships.. what i was trying to say is to face the reality that your significant other won't change unless something really big happened.... like accidental pregnancy!

vincent: yeah, not all human beings are resistance to change totally.. again it's my mistake for not clarifying the topic at hand.

gapnap: i've got no friends :(
