Living with #victimhood is worse than being a #victim. You can potentially move on from an unfortunate event, but not from victimhood.
Victimhood will keep on dragging you into the same miserable state that an unfortunate event can't. An event has a beginning and an end, but the #mental conditioning of victimhood is perpetual.
It's similar to the saying that #pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice. In other words, pain is temporary, but #suffering is perpetual.
