On Not Playing the Victim
One
of the worst kinds of elevation of the self is playing the victim.
There are times when we actually are victims, when actual blame is
appropriate, but to take on the identity of a victim and be stuck
blaming is something else. Surprisingly, it is actually a subtle form of
elevation—I’m not responsible, you are. This is giving up all freedom.
