Victims believe that other people have an obligation to make choices that will benefit them. Victims assume that the first choice of every human being should be to give them what they want. When that doesn't happen, life is unfair. Victims are angry, hurt, selfish, irresponsible, lazy, and always right. There are benefits that come from being a victim.
Victims attract sympathy.
Watch what happens when someone describes how they were treated unfairly by another person or group. What a victim says is generally presumed to be true, and people feel obligated to be sympathetic. In fact, questioning the truthfulness or plight of a victim is often considered socially unacceptable and politically incorrect. A victim never has to be wrong. He can blame his unhappiness on everyone else.
