Climate Victim?

So, I was trying to get back to work after writing that first post, but I kept thinking about what I mean by being both "victim and perpetrator." Am I really a victim of climate change? Well, if you count reduced ski days...but that hardly makes me a "victim." Probably, if you subscribe to liberal democracy's individualistic philosophy (as described by Benjamin Barber, 1984), I am not a victim. But if you don't accept the individual as the sole unit of analysis, if you are willing to accept the interconnected nature of existence, then perhaps I am a victim - we all are. In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," and, "An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity." I am a "victim" in the sense that I share the "broader concerns of all humanity," and those concerns affect my emotional well-being and outlook. As I said before, however, I am also a perpetrator.
