Exclusions: People who are suffering in missiles hit areas and living under constant suppression.

Inclusions: People whose basic needs are fulfilled and ample time at hand and don’t know what to do with it.

The most comfortable and easy thing in life is – playing the victim! It demands nothing but sympathy. Everyone faces pain, rejection, or injustice! – I get it. But the difference lies in how we respond! Some broadcast their wounds for applause with twisted half-truths, others quietly build resilience with what ever the courage and WILL they have got. Always its our choice!

Complaining is like emotional fast food- it feels satisfying but leaves us hollow. Of course, life is messy! People will disappoint us, systems will fail us, and all the plans that we envisioned collapse. But feeding on drama! Only magnifies the chaos. In a world that rewards vulnerability but often confuses it with self—pity, the “victim card” has become most conventional sought-after tool as its very easy to pick and play! It’s a quick way to deflect the blame, earn sympathy or justify inaction?

We either evolve past our past or drawn into it endlessly with a repeated loop of a sympathetic cocoon. Stop replaying our story like a sad return but put it in a way what lessons we have learned and how those experiences made us better WE! The more we relive the victimization, the more defines us! Stop that nonsense!

I have seen lot of stronger human beings here, with tons of digital memorabilia cherishing their moments with loved ones but when all those vanished or faded- they still stood their ground without yelping about their grievances and became strong in the process of picking up their broken dreams to use it for their strength. That’s a wonderful job as only very few can do that! On the other hand, I have seen these victim players as well for millions of reasons beyond my comprehension as I could understand only few as mentioned above.

People are victimized! I understand that!! But when we narrate or express our sufferings, expectations, the broken dreams we should be thorough and honest! Shouldn’t be any twisted half-truths to lick our soul or satisfy our ego of – see what greater things we did for him/her but still she/he did this to me!?

Let’s get back to the drawing board. The first step to come out of this vicious cycle is – brutal honesty! Accept what happened- our choices, our mistakes, our circumstances- without any fucking pointing fingers!

Accusations shift the focus outward. Let’s draw our quadrant of SWOT – Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats- and maximize on S & O and minimize W&T! it’s not easy! It needs soul cleansing! Even phenol doesn’t work but our intentions do! Stop telling the story of who hurt us and start rewriting the story of what we are becoming. We can’t move forward while replying our pain again and again blaming everyone under the sky for it, as drama drains energy!

The victim card is easy to play. But the victory card? Let’s stop waiting for life to get fair and start getting stronger than what’s unfair!

Note: My initial idea when I thought of this write-up, narrate with some examples I have seen here and relate & draw parlance, but I changed my mind mid way through and kept it as simple as I could.

I really liked how you began with those inclusion and exclusion criteria - that was thoughtful, so you .

The “victim card” seem like a trend now, played more for sympathy than for truth.
There exist Empathy on the other hand, belongs to those who seek and face the truth. No card needed for that maybe that’s why it’s harder to earn and easier to forget.
And in chasing that sympathy, the real meaning of who’s truly victimized gets lost. Leaving even the genuinely hurt ones "those from your excluded group " overlooked and unsympathized.

People are victimized! I understand that!! But when we narrate or express our sufferings, expectations, the broken dreams we should be thorough and honest! Shouldn’t be any twisted half-truths to lick our soul or satisfy our ego of – see what greater things we did for him/her but still she/he did this to me!?
Aren’t we all victims in some way?!!!!

But in my story I’m always the hero. So why bother giving the “benefit of doubts” when it’s easier to Paint others through my own version of half truth, Play the victim, and Collect 2 cents of sympathy!!!
The victim card is easy to play. But the victory card? Let’s stop waiting for life to get fair and start getting stronger than what’s unfair!
Exactlyyy time to break from sorry excuse of “life is always unfair to the fair".
Next time do add examples.

And Please Keep writing.!!

You have written quite well, however, I felt that in a few places, the flow and coordination between your sentences were slightly off - as if the rhythm of the sentences did not completely align.I hope you understand the essence of what i am trying to convey. Nevertheless, you have managed to narrate and present your thoughts in a fairly good and meaningful way..!! :)

Every pain someone shares carries a truth within it.
When someone opens their heart to us,
our first focus shouldn’t be to measure
how much of it is true…
but to understand how much it hurts.

Sympathy is essential it’s what makes us human.
But sympathy shouldn’t be blind.
It should give us the eyes to truly understand…
and the wisdom to guide someone forward.

Because our response decides
whether their pain turns into strength…
or into drama.

I always want to listen with my heart…
but respond with my mind.
Because I believe
even if the pain holds truth or has some exaggeration…
our response defines the value of the person who speaks
and the bond between us.

Sympathy may comfort them for a moment…
but the right response

gives them the strength to rise in the future.
