Comments:


Relationships don't always proceed on a level playing field. The Stephen Sondheim song "Send In The Clowns" perfectly illustrates this imbalance.  One person's up, the other one's down. One person is in, the other one's out.  Then there are those who just can't help but mess things up, like the story of "The Scorpion and the Frog".
Lyrics: I tried to tell ya how I feel
But the words got in the way
Guess i’ll keep on talkin’
Til there’s nothing left to say

I really made a mess of things
The way I sometimes do
Ain’t that just like me
Ain’t that just like you

I tried to make things better
I tried to play along
Guess I’ll keep on trying
To turn a right from wrong

I don’t know how I screwed it up
Guess I want my cake and eat it too
Ain’t that just like me
Ain’t that just like you

I really made a mess of things
The way I always do
Ain’t that just like me
Ain’t that just like me
Ain’t that just like you

Ya, just like me and you
