Imagine with me a time where the world was void of whiny crybabies; a time in America where life didn't center around who had done whom wrong.
No one had the time or energy to sit around sucking their thumbs, wailing about the injustice done to them.
Priorities played a role in the past and people focused on improving their lives actively, instead of casting blame upon someone else.
As we look around our country today, all that we see are people claiming they are victims while they point fingers at the person next to them.
In the media today, it's all about who's oppressing whom. The feminists claim that men are the devil, withholding rights and privileges from everyone lacking male genitalia.
The minorities yell out about oppression and discrimination, refusing to let go of past wrongs.
No one can seem to let go of anything.
I firmly believe that if we as a country could find the strength to forget past wrongs and our victim mentality we would see the world in an entirely different light. Perhaps it would no longer be the world against you, but maybe you would realize that all along it's been you against the world.
The alleged victimization does not stop in politics; it also has crept into the most personal of all places -- the family.
The new trend in psychology is to assert that any malfunction in your personal growth and development is a result of your parents' evil desire to create a worthless, dysfunctional human being. Ê
This once again places you in the most popular of roles: the victim. These psychologists would like for you to believe that if you happen to be one of those sick people who are fascinated with chopping up 3-year-olds and shoving them in your freezer, then it's all because Daddy didn't hug you enough.
Apparently no one is responsible for anything anymore.
You can be married to a man for 29 years, find out he's cheating on you, blow up his car and claim that he caused you to be temporarily insane.
In fact, you could claim that because of the emotional strain he put you through, you broke a nail and you'd probably get a new manicure out of the case.
This is the sad state of our country where everyone is frantically searching for a scapegoat.
Ice Cube and "NYPD Blue" are the reason that kids get shot in alleys. Let's just completely ignore the fact that citizens of our country write the lyrics to music and the scripts for our shows.
We'll just forget that our country was in this state of violence before the media took a turn for the worse.
Instead we can simply pretend to care by blaming the media for gangs and rape.
Yeah, that rich director in California smoking his pipe and wearing that goofy hat is really the one to blame.
Perhaps he should be serving time in prison instead of the stupid punk who pulled the trigger. Sounds rational, right?
If someone is so feeble and weak-minded as to shoot and kill his or her parents after listening to someone with a name like Snoop Dog, then we should throw that person in jail for being so stupid.
I don't care if Satan manifested himself in "Bow-Wow-Wowâ" and the demons told the kid to kill. Despite what people say, everyone wants to be a victim because being one implies you are helpless and without the means necessary to free yourself from your current condition.
What's even better is that it's not your fault.
You get to be screwed up without the guilt and responsibility.
There's nothing difficult about throwing your arms up and blaming defeat on someone else.
What a different world it would be if we all took responsibility for our lives and their outcomes
