Just me complaining about people complaining
It is true that we often don't realize how blessed our lives really are. We complain about our bosses, our parents/kids, the bills, the traffic, the government, the weather, Gen XYZ, the relationships we are in, how boring the news are, the neighbour's dog that wakes you up at 5am, the person at the other end of the phone line whose accent you can't understand etc etc etc. Many people seem to be addicted to lengthy but pointless discussions that are based on nothing but negativity and criticism. While most of the time I just respond with a smile, all I want to tell them is that the world will be a much lovelier place without their complaints and negative energy. Just because you are an angry old (wo)man, don't spread your anger to other people. It is annoying, counterproductive and completely unnecessary. Our society is noisy enough without people dumping their frustration on each other. Don't complain about your job. Be thankful that you have a job to complain about. Don't complain about having to get up early. Be thankful that you wake up at all. Don't complain about your neighbour's noise. Be thankful that you can hear. Don't get annoyed by your parents' nagging. Be thankful for having a relationship with them. Don't take things for granted. Show gratitude. Learn to appreciate little things in life. Because the world can be as beautiful as you want it to be.
