Fullcrum, you are misunderstanding. There is no problem, and there is no good or bad about what either you are saying or what coberst said -- two entirely different things, by the way. You say that people think and act like victim zombies and that they don't realize they have potential (presumably if they woke up); coberst says we actually
are victims of an evil world we create to flee our fear of death.
Neither view, from my perspective, is empowering. It has nothing to do with pretty or truth or positivity. My perspective is: what works? In living a life I love, viewing myself or others as victims just doesn't work. You're free to, though, of course.
