Being a victim does not make you the good guy. It makes whoever saves
you the good guy.

I have come across so many people who claim they are "good" simply by
virtue of not being the agressor. They let criminals into their city,
and do nothing to stop them, critisizing those who attempt a defense.
They always prop themselves up as victims, looking for someone to blaim
for all their ills.

Often these men put themselves up as intellectuals. They are the
self-proclaimed "enlightened". They have "evolved" beyond "agression"
and pettiness.

To this I say rubbish. You've simply attempted to turn your
shortcommings into virtues. Your cowardess into honor. Being weak does
not make you good, it makes you weak. Goodness, usefulness, evil, it's
all seperate. Then as your soldiers march to battle, and defend you
against your enemies, you cheer them. But as generations pass, your
children, raised to be as cowardly as you are, critisize those same
soldiers for being just like the enemy .. from the same mold, the same
kind of person. How quickly they forget.

Be not a victim. Be the warrior. If you are strong, and never have to
fight a day, it is better than being weak, and cowering behind those you
teach yourself to despise.
