Boy, I know this feeling. We suffered badly during the Nuns Fires but I cannot stand the label fire victim. we are grateful for all we have and for the experience (You learn a lot about yourself and the world in such a process.). How can you be victimized by a force of nature? Not a victim.
I took a bullet from a feral.
That made me a victim. Having
a victim attitude and being a
victim aren’t the same things.
I see nothing noble in denying reality.
But, whatever floats her personal boat.
There is no disputing her courage.
People there do not care what the crosswalk lights says, the color of the traffic light, the flow of oncoming traffic, nor your Texas plates.
When they want to cross, they go.
An excellent state of mind. More people should attempt to emulate it. A lot more.
