00:00It's my job to meet people every day and on an average if I average it over the month
00:05I'm probably meeting hundreds every day. The frequency of those who come up claiming
00:09they have a certain disorder or disability or great problem has simply kept on increasing
00:15over the years. In short everyone likes to play a helpless victim. Who am I? A helpless victim.
00:22Now what kind of character is this? Everybody is a victim and you know why you want to play
00:27a victim? It's a matter of shame if you have to declare yourself a victim. I'll tell you
00:33what all the great people have rather done. Even when they were hurt they neither acknowledged
00:39nor declared that they are hurt. Forget about declaring to others I am hurt and help me.
00:45They would not acknowledge even to themselves that they are hurt. They would say oh yes we
00:49are wounded but not hurt because it is a sign of weakness to say that there is anything in
00:55the entire universe that can hurt me. Nothing can hurt me.
