“There's a strong victim mentality in my generation. I think it's spiritual laziness. They will agree that God is sovereign over all, but then they will say, "Well, I wish he would sovereignly take away my lust issue." There's just not a lot of fortitude, not a lot of fight in them.” ThinkingWellsSpiritualFightingStrongWishIssuesGenerationsAgreeVictimLustMentalityLazinessSovereignFortitudeMy GenerationVictim Mentality Author:Matt Chandler
“Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. This is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. But if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. We will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.” IfsWaySoulBigsMightHappensPainSpiritualCultureEasyDarknessVirtueFailingJourneyEssentialsVictimRefuseAllowingHealerAdmittingSpiritual Journey Author:Matthew Fox
“Nothing that comes from God will minister to my pride of self-congratulation.

“See if you can catch yourself complaining in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation or accept it.

“The Constitution and the Bill of Rights we designed to get the government off the backs of the people -- all the people. Those great documents guarantee to us all the rights to personal and spiritual self-fulfillment. But that guarantee is not self-executing. As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such a twilight that we all must be most aware of the change in the air -- however slight -- lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.” PeopleDoeSelfGovernmentSpiritualDarknessRightsAirConstitutionVictimRemainsBillsOppressionInstanceFulfillmentGuaranteesTwilightDocumentsBill Of RightsExecutingNightfallSelf Fulfillment Author:William O.

“It would be unwise to condemn as irrational the practice of devouring the heart and liver of an adversary while yet warm.

“The more you become a connoisseur of gratitude, the less you are a victim of resentment, depression, and despair. Gratitude will act as an elixir that will gradually dissolve the hard shell of your ego-your need to posses and control-and transform you into a generous being.
