It doesn&#x27;t take long watching social media trending tags - particularly on Twitter to notice that there is definitely a trend of this kind of sentiment among the demographic of the social media outlets. While the article may (or may not be, I really have no idea) a fabrication, my observation is that the sentiment towards playing the victim and labeling others as haters and bigots is extensive.<p>Being brought up Christian, I also have no argument that many of the &quot;Christian&quot; religions, Catholicism in particular, do seem to favour guilt as the tool of choice to manipulate their congregations into toeing the line - it&#x27;s one of the many reasons I shunned the church at a fairly young age. I have no interest in spending my life feeling guilty for not living up to an unreasonable expectation of a collection of long dead ancestors that have little (if any) bearing on today&#x27;s society. What happened to just treating others as you wish to be treated in return?<p>There is guilt on both sides of this argument and neither one can stop to address their own shortcomings before judging the other.<p>On the other hand, I have little to argue with the content of the article. If you&#x27;re not equipped to deal with how the world around you treats you, you will forever be playing the victim card. Is that what you really want for your whole life? or are you ready to take charge of yourself, responsibility for your own emotions and behaviour? or would you prefer to be treated as a child for the rest of your life, protected from reality by &#x27;yes&#x27; men, validating you because you haven&#x27;t learned to deal with your feelings of a lack of validation?<p>Nobody ever accomplished anything without dealing with the discomfort of the world around them.
