Intense Hatred

How do you react when someone gets under your skin with a pitch fork in hand, to jab and dig at its soft, sensitive layers until it had made a permananent mark of wounded scab?

I'm a scorpio and I find I've got the personality of a rattle snake. For those of you who don't know, the rattle snake unlike anyother snake, never attacks unless provoked to, or under perceivable threat (in fearful situations in which it deems the opponent to be dangerous to himself).

But is it wrong to mark time until the opportuned moment comes in which to attack the very thing that hurt you immeasurably without care or concern for the damage caused? Translate that into a person. Is it wrong to let intense hatred drive you into hurting even in some small measure or quotient, the very person who hurt you until you bled in a previous instance?

How does one live on with old wounds and hearts? Act or react?

    I'm a Scorpio too :)

    When looking back at my life I think rattle snake is the best definition for me also with a more cunning mind, where I wait for the right moment to attack. I always show my dislike and hatred to people who were cruel to me with no mercy.

    It's always a very bad idea to mess with a Scorpio, who are very secretive in nature and has a dangers darker side that even they are not aware of.

    But I don't believe in Zodiac signs anymore, I tend to control my hatred and try to forgive who were cruel to me, I have changed the way I think and try to apply religious theories to life more often. I strongly belive that who ever hurts me will be consumed by his own bad deeds.
    I must confess that there are times now and then when my old personalities surface, hehehhehe

    I'm doing my best :D

    I can absolutely relate, Ksual.. even though I don'to want to, there are times when I find myself acting contrary to what even I thought I was capable of and when that happens I find that there's no mercy.

    But just like you rightly said, we must control ourselves and extend compassion and forgiveness towards those who have hurt us. True they may not deserve it at times, but it's the human thing to do and it's right before God's eyes. And yes those who hurt us WILL be consumed in their own deeds. We have to leave all that to God and not take matters into our own hands.

    Actually :) I think we ARE scorpios.. we're intelligent enough to recognize what is hidden within us ;) right Kusal? ;)

    Don't Give Away Your Power

    You can tell a lot about a person by what it takes to get them upset. Our emotions are either controlled by our circumstances or our character. When someone is rude, our emotions say, "Pay them back. Get even", which doesn´t take much discipline! But when our strength is under control and we´ve taken the time to develop our character, we realize, "I´m bigger than this. I´m not going to let them pull me down. I´ve got places to go, goals to accomplish and dreams to bring to fruition."

    3 John 2 says that God wishes above all things that we prosper and be in health. God desires to prosper our entire soul - our mind, will and emotions. If we can learn to control our emotions and how we react to those who treat us unfairly, God sees and will reward us for our Christ-like character.

    We can´t always control how others treat us, but we can control how we react to others. We’re not supposed to drag through the day frustrated, upset and offended. We’re supposed to be full of joy, peace and victory.

    By learning this principle of not giving away your peace and developing your character, you´re not only going to enjoy your life more, but God will bless you, increase and promote you!

    sometimes Chillin, it's just better to forget and forgive... It's much harder than striking back, but it saves you from getting tangled in a vicious cycle of hatred that only leads to more pain... :)
