[totallystupid]

If you're a real victim, then you have encountered a force unreasonable to overcome on your own, or you've been the victim of a crime, or both, and then it works to have help from something more powerful, like the Law, or the State. And if the State has made you a real victim? Go to another state.

And if there is no higher force to help you -- spiritual victory is one possibility: "Your life is what your thoughts make of it."
