VV(12) - Choosing Victimization

When faced with a hopelessly overwhelming force, dominating and indifferent,
or maybe even enjoying the pain of its victims, when one's choices lay only
in adopting an inward attitude - not in effecting any change to one's
hopeless fate, when VICTIM is an inevitable identity, THEN one may chose to
love one's fate, to become a Stellar Victim.
The classic martyr is very similar to this person except that this Stellar
Victim changes all the rule within her/his own person. The SV is no longer
a victim, but a participant, in fact an almost equally enjoying patron in
this pleasure/pain play. The SV denies the Master his pleasure in sipping
another's pain. In fact the strength of the SV is a horrifying specter,
ever sub-rosa threatening to kill all the while providing horns-full of dark
pleasures.
Blicero is not the SV, but he is closely related. He relates closely to the
victim. That is why we love him so.
