It is sad when people don't realize they have the strength to change their situation. It takes courage and gumption and a lot of faith. There are places to get help if you don't have a friend or family. Great article! So many people who are victimized are brainwashed into believing they deserve the abuse by their abuser.

Why is it that you made the decision to be in that part of the country in the first place? Whose fault is it that you were there exposing yourself to such a disaster? To make yourself a victim of something you could have avoided shows a sense of unconsciousness on your part. Victimhood is a way of expressing your tendency to express a controlling and self serving nature. It is a chosen opportunity to be a burden on society rather than a productive member. Every situation that visits you has been created by you and definitely not by God. Don't be stupid and ridiculous.-----------Doug Rosbury Being a victim is a choice. being a victim of a situation like katrina is ridiculous.

But from this post alone, definitely this will be my new fav. To me, this is one of the first-rated highly mature post. Absolutely love it! But I have always been wondering and am writing here only because of the site is named the rat race trap. I think those who come across your post are neither of those two types you described as victims and owners. The real victims will not be able to resonate much and utilize the message, while the owners are busy with their lives. End up we are just a bunch of people enjoying intellectual articulation. I am writing this because I considered myself coming out from a period of being a victim. I am still trying to figure out how this was possible since I wasn't one before and how did I come out of it. But I remembered during the time I was feeling victim, everything I came across just reinforced that feeling. I tried to imagine had I read this post back then, what would be my response. Cleaning up my situation? I was so much in confusion that I couldn't tell what was what. Everything is a fine line, like you mentioned, and when something happened, either something like Katrina or a series of smaller events in my case, it took away that line from me and the next thing I know, I was already at the bottom of it, by which I mean everything I saw just reinforce it. I am in the process of doing my own "lesson learned." :) Would love to hear your further insight. I hope I have it come across right, by no mean of being negative from my heart.

Thanks for the insightful post. The victim mentality is one I come up against in others and it makes me bristle, on the inside. I see how they believe it serves them, yet I do not buy-in. Only some recognize my participation (or in the eyes of some, a lack thereof) in their empowerment over this "affliction". P.S. The Comment Luv plug-in (or is it a widget?) on the bottom of the Comments area just keeps processing and not finishing.
