Bullshit. You can be a victim if you want, but it's a a choice to sit around and wallow in your victimhood. How can you possibly ever expect to succeed at anything if you want to go through life as a victim? Quit being a victim and just be a person who has experienced life. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger if you let it.

Substitute the word victim for 'a product of' if it makes you feel better although it means the same. What's happened before makes you who you are today.

It don't really care if you agree with me or not. You can think what I'm saying is bullshit along with the rest of the people who do. It's ok even. I know you can't possibly do anything else because of where you've been and what's happened to you.
