On Complain
Men, inspired by desire to achieve great things in life, have accumulated fortunes sufficient for generations. This very desire can lead a man to a state where he complains about all the things around. Complaining about the things around is a very convenient escape route adopted by people facing struggle in life. The rigors in life tend to disappoint and then push into this abyss. The beauty of life is in the hardships and struggle for success not in the comfort zone of complaints. Complaints are most likely to be directed at friends, peers, parents or employers, who have some degree of interest in one’s life. Now the employers or peers might have a reason to have vested interest but all the others don’t have. Therefore it is imperative to realize what could be the problem. The rest are mostly sincere people. Sincerity is a double-edged sword. Sincere advice is often thought to be equivalent to correct advice but the advice may or may not be correct. Such complaints generally arise after thoughtlessly following sincere advice and thinking it would most likely lead to good results. Interestingly one cannot blame the person as well and hence the leading to the abyss of complaining about one’s own life. The scapegoats could be government, employers or even at times family members. It’s extremely difficult to cure since one cannot address the root cause of the problem which is following sincere advice without giving it a proper thought.
So does this shifting of onus to a sincere person (whose advice was followed)justify insincerity to him/her?
ReplyDeleteNot at all. The core idea presented is that look at the advice not the person. Evaluate the advice and then go ahead. Never complain. Not to show disrespect / insincerity towards him/ her.
