I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who wander around with a victim's mentality. I know a guy who's wife, unbeknownst to him had developed a mental disorder and spent him into financial ruin. She was in charge of the family finances, and ran up some ten credit cards to max. One I know maxed out at $13,000.00. Worse than that, she hasn't made the house or utility payments in three months. So, every creditor in the land is descending upon the poor fool. They are like buzzards who want to pick out his eyes.
And there he sits- a victim, and he hasn't a clue about what to do. He's got BOZO written all over him. It's a good thing he's not a Satanist, as being a victim breaks Satanic law! Why? Easy! Victims are stupid! Yes, they are stupid or they wouldn't be victims! The damn fool should have kept tabs on his financial condition on a day-to-day basis. Every one is responsible for their own actions, health and financial condition- no excuses!
Now, seeing as how the guy could never pay off all he owes, I suggested that he declare Bankruptcy. Well, he damn sure is bankrupt! Most of the money he owes is interest compounded upon the back of more interest anyway, so what the Hell- it's only paper. I said, "If the California, utilities can do it, there is no reason why you shouldn't." Naturally, he balked at that idea- more stupid thinking. When the shit is in the fan, the shit is in the fan. It's too damn late to moralize. You need to think about what you are going to do before you do it, not after!
Then there are the wannabe lovers! Damn! They are
pathetic. They don't know the first thing about love
or they wouldn't be messing with it in the first place.
Love is an emotional sickness that is spelled "S-t-u-
p-i-d!" You think I'm kidding? Hell, the divorce
rate is over 50%, and how many long-term love
relationships do you know of? People confuse love
for lust, and that is where they screw up!
Some people need to be in love. They live for it, and are never happy unless they are embroiled in it. Maybe I should say broiled, as you can hear them piss and moan and sizzle on the grill. Won't they ever learn? How many examples will they have to live through before they get the idea that humans are not monogamous creatures? The "One Mate For Life" idea was thought up by fathers with ugly daughters, and it just doesn't cut it. Even if a marriage endures, there are often affairs, and the women are just as busy at it as men.
The right thing to do, is give 5% to your relationships, and keep the rest of your heart to yourself. Yeah, and don't forget to recycle that 5%! Giving all of yourself to another person is foolish, and S-T-U-P-I-D too, for sooner or later they will make you very sorry! Do that, and you will be a victim- again! Well, I suppose we can have empathy for the very young, but after several failed love affairs, the damn fools ought to learn the lessons of reality. Being a victim ain't no fun!
Hell, you can still laugh and play all you want, but don't ever let another person become the reason for your existence. Never build your emotional house on another's foundation, and you'll save yourself many a broken heart, victimization and lots of frustration. Then, there are people who in their need for attention and fitting in, allow themselves to be scammed by other people. That is another form of STUPID and consensual victimization. I say consensual because they know better, but they allow it anyway, just to be a part of something. That is no way to live.
Everyone has something of value to contribute to society, and I don't mean their emotions or money. Just remember, there are many levels of society, and it you aren't fitting in on a particular level, then you are paddling around on the wrong level. Wake up and realize that it's time to reevaluate!
Being a victim sucks, and there is no need for it. There are levels above yours and levels below yours, and some levels are a waste of time. The right thing to do is to consort with people on your own level. However, if you want to raise your stature, then figure out what you need to do that and do it. When you are successful, the higher level will simply flow around you like water finding its own level. You pay your money and take your choice, but don't ever allow yourself to be a victim.
