Inflammatory Enemy: Living With Vasculitis - Paperback

by Meek (Illustrator), Meek (Editor), Mark Ingram (Foreword by)

Don't call me a victim. I'm not a victim. A victim is someone who feels they are oppressed or suppressed; who feels they have been wronged, injured or falsely blamed. To identify as a victim you must feel anger, hurt or helplessness. I do not feel any of those emotions.

Sure, I've met people who made it their mission to cause me harm both physically and mentally, they've tried to damage my life by lying, spreading malicious rumours, and seeking to impede my progress through vindictiveness, but none of them have, nor shall they, ever succeed.

For as long as I have my wits and a pen in my hand I will never be a victim, and those that seek to make me one will themselves at some point suffer from all the injustices that they seek to rain down on my head.
