“Choosing to find a way forward instead of just complaining about your problems changes your status, from victim to survivor.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 13
In other words
A victim is first someone to whom harm has happened. That fact should not be softened or blamed on the person carrying it. Yet remaining only inside complaint can leave the harmful circumstance with control over what follows.
Looking for a way forward begins a change in position. The problem is still real, but the person is now acting upon it as well as being affected by it. Each useful choice takes back a part of the direction.
Survival is not simply having endured. It includes the movement from being held by the event toward shaping life after it. The same action may later help others see a path, turning private resistance into an example of change.
