BEING A MARTYR


Without going too far into what is going on in the deep parts of my being right now, let me just say this. Within the past five minutes I have come to a very painful realization that I have the same tendencies to try to make myself into the victim in many situations-- a condition that I have railed against in other people and groups. Somehow it is easier to be a martyr than it is to suck it up and take your blows as they come to you.
