Even if you are a victim, it does you no good psychologically to dwell on that fact.

Let’s imagine you were hit by a drunk driver and both your legs were severely shattered.

You’re a victim. Something awful happened to you that you had no control over.

But will it help to feel sorry for yourself? Will it heal your legs to blame the drunk driver? Even though something happened to you, you’re the only person who can physically rehab your legs and get yourself walking again.

Is this an unfair circumstance? Of course.

But what tangible benefit, would you get out of identifying as a victim?

In my opinion there isn’t one.
