Is a victim a good person?

The noun, 'victim', describes someone who has been harmed in some way.

Any person might be described as a victim of illness, disaster, crime, and so on. A person referred to as a victim is simply a person, just like any other person; their status as a victim doesn't determine or describe their character in any way.

Where a person has harmed another person, they can be said to have caused that harm, but this fact doesn't make either the perpetrator or the victim of this harm necessarily either a good or bad person.

So many factors need to be taken into the consideration of each individual case that debates over good and bad, or right and wrong, can extend for centuries without any real decision being reached either way. Even modern court cases can last for years, sometimes without ever arriving at any solid conclusion.
