“We cry to God Almighty, how can we escape this agony? Fool, don't you have hands? Or could it be God forgot to give you a pair? Sit and pray your nose doesn't run! Or, rather just wipe your nose and stop seeking a scapegoat.”
- Epictetus, Discourses, 2.16.13

Life is full of setbacks. Blaming others for our misfortune has no benefit. It is energy wasted.
Conclusion
When we feel wrong, we are only victims if we choose to become victims. Choose to focus on the blessings given to us. Be prepared to roll up the sleeves and work hard to improve the situation.
