Are you ready to put aside your Victim and really look within?

Criticising others is simply a way to avoid looking at the flaws in oneself.
If you're busy criticising others, you can't take accountability or responsibility for yourself.
You're going to be a perpetual victim, faulting everyone else.

faulting others, does not make one a victim

@Torsten I am talking of the Victim Archetype. And faulting others can certainly be coming from that place.
It can however be coming from a place of awareness and guidance, but that would come out with compassion.
I may have obviously overlooked other criteria, in which case I am open to learn.

@SW-User I think people are only truly victims if they have a victim mentality. When things go wrong for you and others are the cause of that, It is entirely fair to point that out. In doing so that, does not make you a victim so much i think

@Torsten Can we really blame others (and I am not talking about politicians or areas of our lives where we don't have that much control) and not take accountability ourselves for our role in that experience?
If all we do is blame someone else, we do ourselves a disservice by not seeing our own shadows.

@SW-User I think you can put blame on yourself for allowing others to take advantage or cause harm to you for sure and you can learn from that and make sure you dont ever put people in a position to ever do that to you again. But first you need to see the fault of others to get to that point

SW-User

@Torsten I agree with that. Seeing something in others that we find a fault is always a reflection of something in ourselves.
