Losing a job doesn't make you a victim.

Waiting around for it to get better, and not doing anything to change it - doesn't make you a victim.

Getting your house knocked down and losing your job when your employer is flattened in a natural disaster - now, you're a victim.

Being a victim DOES NOT in any way excuse you from standing up, dusting yourself off, and getting to work making your situation better. It does not give you permission to whinge and gripe and sit on your duff waiting for someone else to make it better.

If you're doing something towards improving your lot, I'm all for it. If you're sitting there and whinging about how so-and-so did this to you, and therefore, you're owed something? Sorry. No joy.
