Wahhh, Wahhh, Wah Wah Wah

I rarely do this, but I just need to write out something that has been bothering me, and then I will let it go. I think this message, at least I hope so, will be applicable for everyone, and let me preface by saying that I am totally guilty of this same thing. Energy. Each day, each minute requires an extensive amount of energy. Human beings can only give so much of that energy, and they tend to easily burn out, causing worry marks and high stress levels.  I have no scientific research, but I do have daily life to back me up. Doctors always inform the public of ways that they can reduce stress, but I don’t hear what I’m about to discuss very often. Complaining. It doesn’t seem so at first, but given enough time and enough repetition and complaining can become constant easily. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that every now and then a person needs to vent or talk things out and get rid of their frustration. That is all well and good. However, when complaining becomes a weekly to daily ritual, then there is an issue. I admit, that I too complain so I am not pretending to be a saint by any means. Lately, though, I have heard quite a bit of complaining, and I must say, it is starting to bring me down and irritate me even.

If we only have so much energy in a day and we need every ounce of it that we can muster, then why oh why would we spend it complaining? Energy could be put towards anything more efficient and healthy than complaining. Also, why emit so much negative energy into the world? We already have enough of that nonsense that we don’t need any more of it through complaining. If possible, we should attempt to provide as much positive energy as we are able. I understand that we all have our bad days, and I certainly identify with that, but how does continuously reflecting on that negative energy help us? Also, complaining is a waste of valuable time. I think we can all agree, maybe not, that time is precious. There never seems to be enough time in the day. So my proposal is that if there is limited time in the day as it is, then why would you spend it doing something that is neither productive nor helpful. Instead of complaining, you could be doing something so much more productive with your time.

Also, happiness is so much more fun than irritation or frustration. Please know though, that I am totally guilty of complaining which is why I find it so important to discontinue that silly activity. I want to spend my time in joy and peace, with the occasional humorous and probably much needed venting. I just think that life could be much more enjoyable if we all stop complaining and appreciate the blessings and the hardships that we have. Complaining is not only a negative energy, but it is also a waste of time. More importantly, no one likes a party pooper.
