going through a hard time emotionally right now?

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*

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...

Take it for what you will...
