Reason 1. Understand the other party deeply.

Profundity is the most prominent characteristic of Scorpio’s character. Regarding love, their famous saying is "love, please love deeply". They will not accept half-hearted love. They not only require themselves to be 100% devoted to it, but also require the other party to do the same. Since you want to love the other person deeply, of course you need to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the other person. However, if you just hear the other person's "self-introduction", it is obviously not enough. Scorpios also need to know the other person's true heart, even the darkest part of their heart. On one side, the more the merrier.

Similarly, Scorpio is also full of curious desire to explore other people who are related to their own vital interests, such as best friends, most important customers and immediate bosses. The more profound their understanding is, the more they feel a certain sense of accomplishment. Of course, in-depth understanding has also become a means for them to control each other.

Reason 2. Effectively control the other party.

Scorpios have a strong desire for possession and control. Whether it is their lovers, friends, subordinates, colleagues, customers or even their bosses, Scorpios have the ambition and impulse to control. Although Scorpio subordinates have a loyal side, they also have another side that manipulates their superiors. This does not mean that they will "seek power and usurp the throne", but that their nature is such that they do not want to be treated as an absolutely obedient robot. I hope I can play some tricks with my boss.

Whether as someone else's spouse, friend, or even subordinate, Scorpio is a guy who is difficult to control, and they will protect their privacy well. In turn, Scorpios need to master more secrets from their spouses, friends and even their bosses. They do not necessarily want to use this to do bad things, but they have to grasp something, otherwise, they will have the feeling that nothing can be controlled. It will only make them feel at a loss. It is like riding a high-altitude airplane. Even if they have a seat belt strapped to their bodies, most people will still habitually hold on to the handrails.

Reason 3: Verify your guess.

Scorpios like to play guessing games the most. They are crazy fans of mystery or suspense novels, movies and TV series, or they have written such stories themselves. Scorpios are also very suspicious when it comes to interpersonal relationships, and it is not easy for them to trust each other. Of course, at this point, Cancer and Pisces, both water signs, are also suspicious, but the way Scorpio solves his doubts is different from these two signs.

Scorpios will take the initiative to solve the mystery themselves. They imagine themselves to be detectives, and the other person is the suspect they want to focus on. Scorpios will not let the other party hand over the answer to the mystery on their own initiative, which would be too boring. They will not just guess and wonder, but will use all available means to find "evidence" to support their guesses. Whenever they learn a piece of privacy about the other party, they will feel a sense of satisfaction that they have successfully solved the case, and they will also be more convinced that they are safe.

Reason 4: The need for self-protection.

Whether it is to understand the other party, to control the other party, or to verify one's own speculations, behind this series of reasons, there is actually a deeper psychological motivation and need, that is - self-protection. At this point, many people may not think that in their view, Scorpio's efforts to protect their privacy may be understood as a kind of self-protection. However, can their prying into other people's secrets be considered a form of self-protection?

Let us connect these two seemingly contradictory activities of Scorpio. On the surface, a person who doesn’t like others prying into his privacy should also respect the privacy of others, right? Didn't Master Kong once say, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you?" Since you, Scorpio, don't like others to pry into your privacy because you want to protect yourself, then you have no reason to pry into other people's secrets. That's not a double story. Standard villain behavior?

It can only be said that this concept is extremely pedantic. Scorpio people will only sneer at it. In fact, the set of Confucian concepts has never been truly followed by emperors of all dynasties. In the book "Emperorology", the emperor is required to master a skill, which is to prevent his ministers from prying into his mind. At the same time, the emperor must try his best to spy on the true thoughts of his ministers. This is the Legalist philosophy. The "skill" in "power technique". In fact, this is not only true for Legalists, but also for military strategists. When two armies are fighting, what is important is to know the enemy without being known by the enemy. If you are so sincere and just keep your own military secrets and never send spies to inquire about other people's military secrets, can you still achieve the goal of "know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles"? ?

It can be seen that this seemingly contradictory and even a little unkind approach of Scorpio is actually something that most people want to do in their hearts, but cannot do it because of their shame. However, if Scorpio goes too far and is too obvious, it is inevitable that he will be criticized by others for this. But in fact, in order to achieve the purpose of self-protection, don’t we also hope to master this kind of strategy of “knowing people without being known”? On the contrary, those who adhere to the pedantic "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" are eventually betrayed by others, and they probably don't even know how they were betrayed.

(Note: The author does not deny the moral value of "do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you". I just hope that everyone can be more discerning and not be too attached to certain prejudices. Whether it is a person's life or a country's security, we must pay attention to it. Use both Confucianism, Taoism and Law, rather than just one of them).
