Victims

Have you ever known someone who says that they hate drama but is usually the first one to create it?  Have you ever known someone, that while standing with their hand out, complains about people having things handed to them?  Lastly, have you ever known someone who says they have worked hard and having nothing to show for it, yet they are an adult living with their parents without a job?

I am concerned for the future.  More often than I would like to admit, I have met or come across someone who fits into one or all of the "categories" above.  We are living in a culture of victims.  No one wants to take responsibility for themselves and they spend their lives focused on the fortunes, or misfortunes, of others.  People act as if they have no choices and sit around while life happens.  They may want bigger or better things in their life, but have no plan and no desire to really work for it.

I am sure everyone has their "days". Days when you feel buried and wonder if you will ever be able to dig yourself out.  It may even be more than a day, but understanding that with patience and perseverance, anything can be achieved.  It is the people who keep digging, no matter what, that truly inspire me. We are not victims of our circumstances and as human beings and citizens of the United States, we do, in fact, have free will.

Unfortunately, those who read this that fit into the "categories" will likely not gain anything.  My hope is that this can wake up just one person.  One person who will be the future.
