The identity of a victim: victimhood identity is now in vogue. It’s in fashion. Everyone and his dog, and his mother-in-law, are victims looking for abusers.

—Sam Vaknin


In order to move ahead in life, and to be upwardly, socially mobile, you need to be a victim. Only victims prosper and thrive in a postmodern society, which is founded on victimhood as an organising principle.

‘Silence’ never ceases to imply its opposite and to depend on its presence: just as there can’t be ‘up’ without ‘down’ or ‘left’ without ‘right’, so one must acknowledge a surrounding environment of sound or language in order to recognise silence.

Art is a powerful weapon that society, or the powers that be, use to control or direct the way people think. Culture is used to perpetuate the status quo of a society. Even though I’m involved in music for the sake of entertainment, I always hope to offer some kind of enlightenment.
