A boy who climbed a high mountain. It was cold up there. At his feet was a snake, a rattlesnake. The snake was cold and pleaded with the young man to pick it up and take it down where it was warmer.
The boy listened to the enticings of the snake. He gave in. He gathered it up into his arms and covered it with his shirt. He carried it down the mountain to where it was warm. He then caring and gently put it on the grass. When the snake was warm it raised its head and struck the boy with its poisonous fangs.
The boy was hurt and confused at the snake for striking him as an answer to his kindness.
The snake replied, "You knew what I was when you picked me up"
It is a good person who cares to try and help the hurt and give warmth and love to someone who clearly needs it. However, once they have proven themselves to be "a rattlesnake" then believe their own actions and protect yourself and your loved ones against those with poisonous fangs. The snakes of this world are only interested in self preservation and self indulgence and their only goal is to entice & seduce with charmed easy talk, then injure and possibly destroy them.
Moral of the Story: It isn't a bad thing to be the person who loved someone and tried to help someone become a person of character. It also isn't your fault nor your responsibility when they choose to not change. Believe a person's actions; Good or Bad. Actions are true. A person's words are only true, when matched with the actions.
