The victim's to blame too, sometimes.

There are many out there who are constantly being bullied, mugged, ostracized or any other victimization, even though they've done nothing wrong. Just about how much sympathy do they deserve? Do they deserve any sympathy at all? We don't need to be Aristotle to see that the bully or the mugger is the one at fault here. But sometimes the victim's to blame too, sometimes.

In the case of bullying, the weak are often the target here, weak physically, weak mentally, weak socially or weak emotionally. You might think that there's nothing wrong with that, but the thing is, this weakness can attract people, and often men. Men wants power, men wants to dominate, even when they're still boys, they still have this behavior engraved in their mind. It is only evolution. Men have been leading tribes since the dawn of history. Men need to dominate other men in terms of mating. Men seeks power. Even in this modern age, us, men, still behave like this. It is only natural that the weak are being dominated, in this case.

In the case of mugging, the mugger don't just choose their targets randomly. It is evident that the weak and insecure people are always the victim here. People who walk like zombies, people who walk aimlessly, et cetera. The weak and insecure people often emit a body language that tell muggers that they aren't capable of defending themselves. Muggers, especially the psychopathic ones, have this special ability to detect such body language. In a study, the subjects are asked to watch a series of videos of people walking, and then asked whether the people in the video are potential target ts for mugging or not. Turns out, the more psychopathic subjects were able to score high on the test. Those people were truly mugged that day.

Now, it seems to be against our code of ethic to blame the victim, but let this be a lesson to the victims out there. People need to stop being weak. If you are weak physically, then take some time to work out. However, if, let's say you have a disability, then be strong mentally, socially and emotionally. Friends or family may sympathize with the victims here, but really, the rest of the society are laughing, frowning at you. The one who embrace weakness and doesn't let go gets bullied, mugged, victimized. It is the criminal's fault here, but it is also partly the victim's fault here.

Please tell me what you think here, I'd very much like to hear your opinions.

NOTE: This article here only applies to crime victims. Natural disaster victims, victims of the war and its kind are innocent here. No matter what they do, they cannot prevent such happening. They aren't at fault here, not to me, at least.
