From Victim To Victor
Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at 2:23PM
As recent as the 1900s, Armenians as well as other ethnic minorities were victims of genocide, starvation, exportation, rape, torture, you name it, it happened. With some cultures, this has been a theme for generations.
Offspring can inherit part of this psyche of victimization which can breed melancholy, depression, fear, inferiority and even dis-ease.
What's the good news? It's not a given. You don't have to travel that road just because its in your past. Look, if I told you 25 years ago that the Soviet Union would break up and numerous free republics would be born including a free Armenia, a free Artsagh, and you could go there anytime you want... You would have told me I was on drugs. The past does not equal the future.
Simply put, the book "A Perfect Armenian" needs to exist to help further the shift from negative to positive, from loser to champion, from unjust to righteous, from victim to victor.
