by Journeyman Being a victim means you think you are the helpless plaything of forces beyond your power. This means only that you don't realize that you have drawn to yourself these experiences, people, situations etc. These are not victimizers, they merely reflect you and your way of thinking and acting. You are not their victim, you are the one who asked for them. Your actions and attitudes summoned them to be your harsh instructors. If you think the world is conspiring against you, it is also you attempting to impose your small human will against something greater and more knowing than you.
