Frequent bouts of hatred due to failures on the way to his goal show him as a destroyer of his own life and the lives of those around him.
Society is wary of Scorpios, because it is not difficult for them to say everything they think about a person, right in the face. The disadvantage of this quality is that people do not always want to know the truth about themselves, especially in an open form.
