Dhritharasthra was good at victimizing himself, so that he could rule.
If sympathy were synonymous to qualification, then tests would not required. Progress requires ability and training. Dhrithrasthra was not qualified, would not be qualified at any time in his life to take the position of king, because of his disqualification at being born blind. Based on the principle of sympathy, he tried to elevate his unqualified son to be the next king, hoping that society would sympathize with Duryodhana based on Dhritharsthra’s destiny. It was a wrong assumption since Dhrithrasthra’s lost opportunities at being disqualified to be king, could not become the qualification for his son to rule. This mathematics the kauravas did not understand. In their mind they wanted to rule since their father was disallowed from ruling.
It is strange but true that those who are not qualified want sympathy in the form of elevating their relatives to positions that they are not qualified for .
One’s father’s qualification, does not make the son a natural heir to the kingship. He or she has to prove their mettle. Yudhisthira’s qualifcation for kingship was not borrowed from his father, rather it was facilitated by the father because he gave the children good values.

Dhristharasthra was not willing to take responsibility for his life events. Some times a diseased person likes to remain diseased because he finds sympathy coming his way or in other words he relishes the attention coming his way.
However sympathy is a short lived, and the real solution is to take tough steps to avoid , or transcend the disease while living with it. Both require an active involvement of those who are going through it.

Do you want to live like Dhritharasthra craving sympathy or like Duryodhana stealing and grabbing power or deal with life like yudhisthira maharaja and just perform your duty?
