Unnecessary Complaints
the issue is actually not something to complain about
at all.
This world is established on the principles of nature.
Life in this world is like a vast ocean, always full of
waves. Living in society, we will always have to face one
wave after another. The only sensible way to deal with
the waves that appear in our lives is to consider them as
challenges. Instead of complaining about the waves that
come our way, we should learn the art of successfully
going over or bypassing them.
The fact that we have to face many waves or challenges
in life is not something bad or wrong. In fact, challenges
are for our own good. They come into our lives in order
to train us, to increase us in wisdom and to strengthen
us. The difficulties that we face in life are experiences,
and without going through such experiences one
cannot become a more complete person. We should
learn lessons from our experiences. At the same time,
we should abstain completely from complaining about
them.
