Don’t Complain

Why the only practical solution to the problem of complaints is
not to make them a subject of discussion and debate. Instead,
you should think that the only way to solve them is to forget
them, not to find out if they are true or false.

omplaining is a very deadly thing. It is the habit
Cof complaining that is at the root of various social
problems. When several people live together, it is but
natural that they will have differences, which are often
then allowed to turn into complaints against each other.
These soon get transformed into enmity, abuse and a
never-ending cycle of hatred.
The only solution to complaints is not to take them
seriously. Instead, they should simply be forgotten. In
the event of a complaint against someone, there’s no
need for you to investigate it or to remember it. Instead,
you must forget it—and you should do this on a unilateral
basis. It is natural for complaints to arise when living
together with others. But the solution to the problem
of complaints is not that you should go about trying to
verify them in a bid to solve them.

In this world, it is simply impossible to stop
complaints. The only practical thing that you can do in
this regard is to not store in your mind any complaints
