There is nothing more crippling to a human being than for that person to think of himself/herself as a victim. You’ll notice that the writer of this story does not see himself as a victim, even though he CERTAINLY was a victim! Mr. Douglass chose to make the best of his circumstances and sought to better himself instead of wallowing in self-pity. How did he avoid the temptation to see himself as a victim? How can a person avoid the temptation of blaming others for his/her lack of success, and instead choose to be the best he/she can be despite the obstacles?
