POOR ME

The "poor me" mentality is the most destructive state of mind it is possible to experience. It is the means through which we create unhappy, unfulfilled lives, and the state of mind that allows others to control the direction of our lives.

The "poor me" mentality is the most destructive state of mind it is possible to experience. It is the means through which we create unhappy, unfulfilled lives, and the state of mind that allows others to control the direction of our lives.
Poor Me The Victim. And the victim mentality creates the victim reality. The spiral of despair. The Poor Me mentality is always searching for excuses for its suffering, failure, and lack of action to change its circumstances.
The Poor Me prison is the most tightly guarded, has the biggest walls, and the prisoners show the greatest reluctance to escape. At times in our lives when we are faced with challenging circumstances, we all experience the Poor Me mentality.
For many, however, it becomes their home, their permanent mental and emotional residence. This world is awash with victims because the world is awash with people conditioned to see themselves as victims. Poor home, no money, bad luck, bad parents, prejudice.
The Poor Me, victim mentality has no shortage of excuses for its situation, nor people to blame for its plight. The worst thing we can do in these circumstances is to feed the Poor Me by sympathising with their "misfortune" and "bad luck".
We can have empathy with their pain, but the last thing they need is someone confirming their Poor Me sense of self. Love takes many forms and telling people what will create further "misfortune" and pain is certainly not one of them. There are no victims.
We just think we are and so we create that physical reality. We are persuaded that life is not for living, it is for surviving. We are so indoctrinated by this that any new vision in which people are happy, prosperous and fulfilled, is dismissed as "idealistic"...
...and not living in the "real world". In the "real world ", you see, people have to suffer and battle for survival. Anything else is "idealistic ". The survival mentality abounds in our communities.
We are not here to simply survive or exist, nor to judge our own lives on the basis that others suffer more and so we must be grateful for our lot. But if we think we are - and so many do - that will be the nature of our life.
