Regarding Your Stupid Complaint

During ordinary conversation, people too often complaint about each other as well as others. Nothing unites two people more than a common dislike. People find the easiest way to communicate is through criticising someone. This gives a feeling of self-perfection and helps to get rid of any responsibility for unpleasant situations. This is a kind of negative self defence with which one gets programmed since childhood through poor parental role models. This develops into a habit which is used to express the pent up frustration irrespective of the genuine stand of the object of complaint.

All this torment has its own ill effects. Chronic complaints are the hallmark of a dis-satisfied soul. The chronic complaint is a frame of mind; a disposition of heart that seems to find the dark side in every person or situation. It consumes a lot of energy and heads us nowhere. Every time we complain about something, our brain releases the stress hormone that harms the neuron in the area used for cognitive and problem-solving functions.

The psychological implication being the negative attitude and opinion and the poor inter-personal relationships. The complaint is not a strategy of winners because all of us have finite time and energy. Anything wasted in this regard is hardly going to help us achieve our goals.
