I think your quoted use of the word "victim" is implying a context that may not be clear to people when they read your message. Of course there are victims - by definition. Look up the word "victim" in the dictionary.

In the context of taking responsibility for what has occurred instead of simply justifying it or rationalizing it, I concur. A popular aphorism that I believe applies is 'Life is not what happens to you, it's how you deal with it'.


Thanks T.C, succinct.

I would have to say that the term "victim" is problematic - mostly because it usually evokes sympathy and sympathy is another form of vicimthood (and often sought as part of the Game) - It should *not*, however, be confused with empathy and compassion. In short the concept, as generally adhered to, is twisted.



Personally I have witnessed 'victims' as a result of cause and effect whereby they did not have the mental and/or responsive capabilities to extrapolate the cause and therefore avoid it - even with prior advice. Do such people only have themselves to blame or do we pity their inadequacies?


It is ALL a result of Cause & Affect. As such, again, no "victims" (in terms of not being accountable) - however, there are those who are here (and 'everywhere') to Help/Assist people in the position you have described. All-ways has been.

We each have a purpose for being on Earth.
