Victim?

Maybe the obsession with blaming other people for our own feelings has gone as far as it can go.  

At Oklahoma Wesleyan University,  a talk was given to students about the importance of love based on the Bible. One of them later complained that he felt victimized. He resented the fact that he had guilt feelings for not living up to the teaching about love.

University president Everett Piper says, "I have a message for this young man and all others who care to listen. That feeling of discomfort you have after listening to a sermon is called a conscience! 

"At OKWU, we teach you to be selfless rather than self-centered.

"If you want the chaplain to tell you you’re a victim rather than tell you that you need virtue, this may not be the university you’re looking for."
