It is mentioned in the writings of wise scholars that a scorpion is not born like other animals. Instead, it devours its mother’s insides, tearing her belly open, and then escapes into the desert. The skins found in a scorpion’s nest are remnants of this act. I once shared this point with a distinguished person, and he replied, "My heart testifies to the truth of this; it could not be otherwise. Having treated its own mother and father with such cruelty when young, it is no wonder that it is so despised and unloved as an adult!"
A father advised his son:
“O fortunate young one, remember this advice:
Whoever is unfaithful to their own family
Will never find friendship or success.”
Someone asked the scorpion, “Why don’t you come out in winter?” It replied, “When I am not honored even in summer, why should I bother to show up in winter?”
