Victimization

Have you been been a victim of evil? Have you been traumatized or physically hurt? Emotionally, mentally, or otherwise?

If you have, you might be asking yourself, “Why?”

Why is a great starting point when trying to figure out anything. Why will give you at least a baseline understanding of what Really happened.

However, what emanates from why only works if we’re being honest.

So think. Remember. Think some more. That friend that, “Screwed you over…” did you allow it to happen? Was there ever a moment where something didn’t feel right? Perhaps a moment when you had the thought to say something or be confrontational against a feeling of unfairness. Maybe you knew you were being taken advantage of.

What did you do though? Did you sweep it under the rug? “We’ve been friends For so long , I’m sure it was nothing…”

You know now only what you knew then. Only now you want to play the victim? Which -by the way is fine but not helpful- is like walking into a cell.

In that cell you have no real visitors, just the faces of the past whos’ words you slowly contort to better help frame the platform which you seek to use to gain sympathy.

Though sympathy “feels” nice momentarily, those feelings are fleeting. When they are gone and you’re awake late at night, what then?

Better to own your life and your mistakes. Better to stop wasting one more second “reliving” the terror of some awful experience.

Share the lesson, forget the pain in time.

“Suffering is for the Weak, pain for everyone.”
