Victim…Victorious!
Are you a victim? I was having a conversation recently with a dear friend, in which the idea of the ‘victim mentality’ came up. As we were talking, it occurred to me that when someone becomes a victim—meaning, someone else has victimized him or her—they often continue to remain a victim, by repeatedly victimizing themselves thereafter. Yup, that’s what I said. Now, nobody would consciously choose this, but unfortunately, I think many of us do. I know I’ve experienced it.
