Sometimes if a person does complain it is not neessarily a bad thing. For example, the weather has been hot but not just where I live. The weather in Ireland is reasonable, but it is hot in much of Europe and particuarly Italy. The temperatures are indeed above normal. So, of course, it is natural to complain. I am having a problem with scorpions which is mortifying. As much as we try, they love coming into the house. So, yes I do complain. What we all dislike are the people who complain about everything. How often have you been in a grocery line even if self service and had to listen to people just go at it. Their whining that the lines are too long, people are taking too much time, why do they need help, why can’t they get it right and a few more makes me cringe. We are all in the same place trying to accomplish our grocery shopping yet the endless complaining is just that, endless. On YouTube, Facebook and other social media outlets, they often express the importance of gratitude. What amazes me is that these individuals can’t see the good. They are purchasing food and have the money to pay for it. Stop and think how many families just scrape by and barely have enough food. I just read today the astronomical number of people that are homeless. They all don’t want to be yet they are. I saw a Dhar Mann video today that was heartwarming. A boy was singled out because he received a scholarship to a prestigious and expensive school. He was having a little difficulty as was bullied by one of the richer boys in school. Even the teacher treated him badly. Finally, he was given an assignment that had a special question. The difficult problem took the teacher and a collegue two years to solve. He solved it over the week-end. He did seem to have trouble until the janitor heard everything and quietly began tutoring him. When he lost his temporary room because his mother’s hours had been cut back, the janitor gave him a place in his office and told him to keep quiet about it. Of course, the janitor was actually a former scholar who had been removed due to the fact he didn’t wish to use his abilities for weapons of mass distruction. He was dismissed but because he was quite brilliant he was able to help the boy. There was a second student at the school on a scholarship that no one had a clue who it was. One day when she was fed up with the poor boy being bullied she told everyone that she was the other poor student. Eventually, both students went on to success and marriage. Then one day, they appeared at his mother’s workplace. He handed her an envelope with a key. She was overwhelmed as they had bought her a new home. They also helped the janitor to be reinstated for an excellent job. I know it all ends well, but the point was there was too much complaining about a genius just because he was poor.
