What is a victim mentality? "Victim mentality" is "pride"! "Proud people" have the victim mentality!
Yesterday, a friend told me: Now anywhere in New York, as long as you confirmed Covid have no symptoms, continue to work, continue to do whatever you wanted, go to school... This is called general immunity? So why get vaccinated? Why is a vaccine mandate enforced? For me, I feel great! Because, I'm not afraid of this virus at all, but I never trust vaccines! I told to my friends: Now we are all fighting for immunity and self-protection ability! But New York's epidemic prevention is completely wrong! Now there are 17 million online patients in the United States... Everyone is sure to get sick, and for those who have been vaccinated, their autoimmunity has been greatly reduced, but how to ensure that you will not become seriously ill? not die? There are also too many mistakes in New York's epidemic prevention... It is not yet the peak period! The real peak period is over.... Need to wait for the active confirmed Covid to drop to 1 million! There must be 16 million people who must be cured...see the CDC right? Or am I correct? If you want to survive and you are diagnosed, you should stay at home and "quarantine"! The protective effect of cloth masks is 10 times better than N95! Now the streets are full of sick people, you are sick and you go out to join in the fun, aren't you courting death? I already said last August to stop Covid: 1. Control the number of viruses. 2. Control the ways of infection. 3. Enhance your immunity!
What is the "victim mentality"? The whole world is wrong, only you are right! (Exodus 23:3) Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause. (6) Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause. ~ Yesterday there was a person who argued with me about the Bible! He was the most angry person in an old sister in the church. After 60 years of preaching the gospel with him, it seemed that she had not changed him at all! It turns out that he read too much nonsense! He said to me: Wesleyan Doctrine, Calvinism, Prosperity Theology and Liberation Theology... (These rubbish have a chance to talk about it again), there is a Hokkien saying: The hoe controls the dustpan, and the dustpan controls the garbage! It turns out that Exodus has already told us the mentality of victims! Why? Will they favor the poor in litigation? Why would they pervert justice? Because of the victim mentality of the poor! The Israelites often threatened Moses with a victim mentality! They often gave up because of met some difficulties, and wanted to go back Egypt, and complained about why Moses brought them out of Egypt? Why did the Israelites ask Jehovah God to bring them out of Egypt, but as soon as they encountered difficulties, they immediately wanted to give up and want to go back to Egypt? What does this have to do with the mentality of victims?
The Israelites regarded themselves as slaves, but they also regarded themselves as the descendants of Abraham. Therefore, they would feel that they were the selected people and felt very wronged in Egypt. Therefore, they asked the Lord God, because they were the descendants of Abraham, so they wanted God. Remember his covenant with Abraham. Victims usually have an unreconciled pride! They feel that the pain they suffer is caused by others, that they are not at all wrong, and that is "pride"! They conclude that their suffering is the fault of others. Just like the Israelites, they regarded themselves as the descendants of Abraham, but they were also willing to be slaves. Therefore, when God asked Moses to take them out of Egypt, they would complain all the way, and they had no responsibility or courage, only endless complaints. !
Why do they keep complaining and keep wanting to go back to Egypt? Because they don't believe in the power of God! They clearly saw that God's promised land to Abraham was a land flowing with milk and honey, but when they saw the local Canaanites, they scared the shit out of them and wanted to go back to Egypt. This proves one thing - proud! They think it is better to be a slave to death in Egypt than to starve to death in the wilderness! They totally despise the power of God! They felt that it was better to be a slave than to listen to the words of Jehovah God and go out of Egypt, so they always wanted to go back and be slaves. This is "pride"! The Israelites considered slavery greater than God's promise to Abraham! Because they have tried to live as slaves, at least they will not die in the wilderness, but even though they are out of Egypt now, and they see the land flowing with milk and honey, they don't know if they can enter? And where is the future, they have absolutely no idea?
Why are the poor always poor? It's the same with those with a victim mentality - they live forever in their pride! To use an analogy: there is a golden basin and a golden mountain in front of you, which one will you choose? Most people choose the golden pot, because the golden basin can be seen, but the golden mountain needs labor to get it! The poor must choose the golden basin in front of them, and the victim mentality will also choose the golden pot. When someone takes their golden pot, they want to help someone to work hard, and the person who takes your golden pot wants to Give you a mountain of gold. A mountain of gold may seem like an ordinary mountain, you need to work hard to reclaim it, but think about it: a golden basin and a golden mountain, which is more valuable?
And in the victim mentality and in the eyes of the poor: you take away their golden basins is to squeeze them! They don't believe that you are willing to give them a gold mountain, and they don't believe that you have the ability to give them a gold mountian! It's like they don't believe in the power of God, they just want to let God do whatever they want! Is this pride? "Proud people" are always the victims of poverty!
