Stoicism on The Victim Mentality | Why You Are Never A Victim

Описание: You carry a heavy weight that has no mass. It is the weight of the story that you are a victim. Peace is not found in a fairer world; it is found in a steadier mind.

We often feel that our suffering is caused by external events—by people who mistreat us, plans that fail, or a world that seems indifferent to our needs. But the Stoics—Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus—teach us that the feeling of being a victim is a voluntary surrender of power. This video is a philosophical guide to dismantling the victim narrative. It explores how to separate events from your judgments, how to view difficulties as opportunities for training rather than evidence of persecution, and how to reclaim the sovereignty of your own mind.

Stoicism does not ask you to deny reality. It asks you to stop arguing with it.

You will learn:

Why feeling like a victim is a confession that you have placed your happiness in things you do not control.

The "Citadel of the Mind": how to close the gates to external disturbances.

Why you should view difficult people not as monsters, but as "blind" to the good.

The difference between passivity and the active acceptance of reality.

How to transform from asking "Why is this happening to me?" to "How can I use this?".

The ultimate freedom of realizing that no one can write the next chapter but you.

This video is not about blame. It is about ownership.

Watch slowly. Listen carefully. And take only what serves you.

“Choose not to be harmed — and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed — and you haven’t been.” — Marcus Aurelius
