Victimming

I have had a rough patch-o-life as of late.  As much as I am an adult and take responsibility for my actions.  I am finding that sometimes, circumstance makes us victims.

So when do you play that victim card?  Is it really legitimate?  Does reality and perceived reality actually boil into truth at some point?  Who can own truth for any given event?

I am reminded of the Blind Men and the Elephant: How each was correct but none fully.

You play the victim only to garner sympathy or sway a jury. Other than that it's energy better spent elsewhere, IMHO. My favorite quote is from Henry Ford---"Who we are isn't define by our past failures but our latest departures"
