The Language of Victimhood

The language of victimhood has become trite in public discourse. We demand normative treatment, and when we don’t get it, we blame the organization and decry its toxicity.

Blaming the boss for our lack of success has become commonplace, yet we are all too eager to take credit for our success.

And we wonder why suicidality and diagnoses of psychopathological illness rise despite increased access to care.

We have created an anomic crisis.

We have fueled an internal crisis by ceding an internal locus of control to an externally oriented one.

Everyone else is to blame.

In this context, the herd mentality poses a significant risk, as suffering often elicits mutual sympathy through commiseration.

That isn’t a trait of the uber successful. It is a psychological trait of those who are below average.

The uber successful live each day like they are dying. They don’t have time to waste blaming others by wishing.

Rather than turning themselves into neurotics by wishing their lives away, they take charge.

They have chosen The HERO Mindset™.
