“When we hear men are the greater victims of crime, we tend to say, 'Well, it's men hurting other men.' When we hear that blacks are the greater victims, we consider it racist to say, 'Well, it's blacks hurting blacks.' The victim is a victim no matter who the perpetrator was.” MenWellsMatterHurtGreaterCrimeVictimRacistPerpetratorsHurting Others Book:The Myth of Male Power: Why Men Are the Disposable Sex Source: The Myth of Male Power: Why Men Are the Disposable Sex
“When someone hurts you or harms you, even if it is a deep wound, forgive them. Forgive them NOT for their sake, but as a sign of gratitude to Allah. Why you ask? For making you the victim and not the oppressor. There is no crime in being a victim, rather it brings you closer to Allah and rids you of sins. But as for the oppressor, they'll have to face their Lord one day. So in reality, they are their own greatest victims.” IfsRealityFacesAsksHurtSinLordCrimeGratitudeOne DayVictimForgivingSakeHarmWoundsMuslimOppressorsDeep Wounds Author:Suhaib Webb
“Over and over victims are blamed for their assaults. And when we imply that victims bring on their own fates - whether to make ourselves feel more efficacious or to make the world seem just - we prevent ourselves from taking the necessary precautions to protect ourselves. Why take precautions? We deny the trauma could easily have happened to us. And we also hurt the people already traumatized. Victims are often already full of self-doubt, and we make recovery harder by laying inspectors blame on them.” PeopleWorldFeelsSelfSeemsHurtDoubtFateHappenedProtectHarderVictimBlameDenyTraumaRecoveryAssaultSelf-doubtPrecautionInspectors Author:Anna C Salter

“Everyone likes to tell stories. And gossip is, of course, even more exciting, if you know the people. But if the gossip's about yourself, it's very weird.

“Robert Nozick [a Havard philosopher, famous for his book "Anarchy, State and Utopia"] defined revenge as delivering the message that you know what someone has done, and it doesn't involve hurting them or doing anything to them beyond that. It's just delivering the message that their crime has been noted not just by its victims, because the victim might be dead, but by another who has a different moral view and will challenge the perpetrator's view.” KnowsHas BeensBookDifferentStatesDoneMightChallengesHurtViewsMoralCrimeMessagesVictimPhilosopherRevengeDefinedAnarchyUtopiaDeliveringPerpetrators Author:Errol Morris
