When we see ourselves as victims, we become caught in our circumstance whether it be a past or present experience. Our natural response to negative situations is anger. Of course, we have to direct anger toward someone or something. If we direct anger toward others, then offenses follow. If we direct it toward ourselves, then we enslave ourselves.
Guilt often follows the anger.
Then depression follows the guilt. Addictions often arise at this point. Addictions are things in which we bury ourselves, often to cover negative feelings that arise out of thought of feeling that life is unfair. The trutth is that we have all rebelled against our Maker. Another truth is that we as individuals are not unique concerning being tempted with thoughts that life is unfair.
