The Cost of the Feast: Why Comfortable Chains Are Still Chains Let’s stop lying to ourselves about modern success. We love to boast about the corner office, the direct deposits, and the luxury perks, but behind closed doors, our spirits are suffocating. We have traded our sovereign genius for corporate scraps, smiling through microaggressions just to secure a seat at a table that was built to exploit us.

Victors take constructive action to change their situation. Victims practice self destructive means of accepting the situation.
Although Victim and Victor both start with the letter V they are different which will you choose for your life.
