The world is full of victims; don’t add to the growing culture of “I’ve a story to tell”, well not unless it’s a story to help others overcome situations or as a warning.

Stephen Richards
About This Quote

The world is full of victims. If you have gone through a bad situation, you cannot tell the world you have experienced it because people will still think you are a victim. Anyone, who has been through a bad situation, should not complain about what has happened to them. Instead, they should talk about how they are going to overcome the situation, that makes them strong.
