When you're a victim, you automatically have a built-in excuse for failure. when you are a victim, it's always somebody else's fault. when you're a victim, success is not possible. when you are a victim of something, you are acknowledging that you are as far as you're gonna get, and you can't get any further, because there are more powerful forces arrayed against you than the force of yourself against it.
