The quote by Condaleeza Rice prompted these comments :
Bitterness and anger makes one believe that you are a victim of something. In most cases you alone knows what that something is. In South Africa one hears the following quotes ever so often : We were(are) VICTIMS of .............apartheid, affirmative action .......et all. So where did this come from ? Bitterness and Anger about things you can do blue all about. But it is nice to be a VICTIM. People will empower you because of this. They might even feel sorry for you.
I pondered a while about the second sentence there : You will feel aggrieved and the twin brother of aggrievement is entitlement . How can this be ? Entitlement means laying claim to something - so when I am aggrieved it is ok to lay claim to ..................? Is this where the land grabs in Zim is coming from - probably!
So now you think you are owed something and you do not have to work for it. You are now on a really bad road to nowhere because there are people who will play to this victim hood, aggrievement and entitlement and you still won't have a job.
Are these the policies the ANC is chasing ? It was definitely the thinking of one Julius Malema who thought all youth of today sees him as the savior of the victim hood (s) But is also becoming the views of a lot of all other Colours in South Africa .
Stop your victim mentality and start doing something for yourself - Youth of this country - Nothing is for free and get with it!
