[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This really bothers me and I see it happen so much when events befall a group or race and then other members of the group say ‘we are not ok’. 
I’m a Jew and events of the last few days are awful. But I, personally, am ok. I haven’t lost family and I’m not kidnapped and I haven’t lost my home.

OP I agree and it is bizarre to me.  This is where our society has been headed for some time.  For some reason it is now glamorous to be a victim and so many (especially younger people) are so eager to identify as such.  I notice it when people discuss race (e.g. acting as though being descended from slaves is the same as being a slave… no, YOU (plural) didn’t suffer… your great great great grandparents suffered but your parents were doctors and YOU went to private school…). I noticed it at the height if the MeToo movement.  And of course whenever any tragedy befalls anyone.  It’s somehow not good enough to say wow that sucks, what can I do besides count my own blessings?

I don’t know what’s going on but it is indeed strange and (IMO) narcissistic.[/quote]
