I have a friend who called me today saying her Scorp daughter (in her 20's) is really in a bad place. I myself have a Scorp friend who seems to be going further down in the "Scorpion hole" each day. Now, I know that each one of us thinks in a different way....us Aries are naturally born to be and think positive where I feel that Scorps have a tendency to focus on the neg. and they keep focusing on it...why?
What will it take for a Scorp to re-focus and look at the good in life?
*I am by no means saying that all Scorps are this way*
Yeah I don't think we are negative..in fact it really pisses me off when people categorise us like that..even the astrologers..I mean every human being can have a negative perspective at some stage...
Thats it bluestar..you hit the nail on the head..and what I've always maintained...we are realists...and people who are not in touch with reality see that as negativity...
I agree with what you say Cap..but its not being a pessimist..its about seeing the world for what it really is...and because its a flippin tragedy and a horrid place, makes you in some ways a sombre individual in appearance I guess..
"I belive even if i fail now but i would win in the end."
Very well said...
I have no time of day who see the world through rose tinted glasses..they are not in touch with reality..But like you say, at least we are prepared for it all..so when something does happen, its no shock..whether its good or bad news..I am pretty unshockable..lol
I think it merely depends on the place that the Scorp currently is in their life. A Scorp at a "bad point" in their life would more than likely seem to a lot of people as focusing on the negative.
Personally, when I have hit extremely low points in my life, I do have a tendency stagnate, and perhaps marinate, in the negativity for a bit. But, to me, it is more of a natural part of my healing process. Like the natural stages of morning... I need a certain amount of time to come to terms with my issues, which I suppose is a bit different than most people do. I suppose personally I allow myself to be consumed to some degree by it, perhaps allowing it to drag me down a bit more until the point that I have "completed my stages of morning" (until the point that I am done with it, when it has truly run its course). In that time, or perhaps because of that time, I gain a greater comprehension of myself, my motivations, the situation, and many other things allowing me to come out of my experiences a stronger person (and to gain the understanding and, more importantly, the resolve necessary to pull myself back to the place I want and know I should be).
But, that is just me personally. I would not presume to speak for the experiences or motivations of any other Scorps...
I don't think that Scorps are negative. Personally, I hold true to the philosophy of "hope for the best, but prepare for the worst". Most people may see that I "prepare for the worst" and as a result am negative, but that is failing to see, or perhaps acknowledge, the "hoping for the best". Optimistic realism is a survival trait...
For so long as a Scorpio (or anyone) excels, they strive. For so long as they strive, they are optimistic. Optimism is necessary to truly attempt anything.
And the same is true for the life all around me. I try to hope for the best in people, but I refuse to be defeated by my own naivety...
LOL..yes..thats true..they always think I am a moody cow...I get irritated at telling someone something 3 times...UNDERSTAND/PAY ATTENTION THE FIRST FOOKIN TIME
Probably busy I guess...yeah pluto has been missing for a bit..maybe aqua is keeping her busy...Archer and Gaurav are probably shacked up together somewhere..
and you and me Cap..the dxp loyalists..lol..still here 😉
And JWalker (my favorite virgo) wrote a poem for me..saying something about the Boston ivy which i thought was a drink but is in fact a plant...LOL..but what a cool name for a drink eh..
We're hatching a plan to have a cocktail with that name..Cheers bar here I come and I want a Boston Ivy!
