I have met countless people who endlessly talk about their tribulations. While I do not object to people opening up, and sharing what bothers them, I am a little disturbed by those among us who think we should stop what we are doing and listen to them.
The world does not, cannot, must not, will not, stop to heed the cries of any one of us. Yes, life is difficult. But wait a minute, who said it would be easy? Who promised you that upon your entry into the world, only the good things awaited you? If nobody promised you anything in particular, why are you complaining? What premise do you have?
That sounds tough, even irrational but I do contend that it is how things are as I see them. We cannot go on complaining of how bad the situation is, for complaints alone, wont change the nature of things. We must proactively engage ourselves in those activities that have for their express purpose, the extermination of those things we find disagreeable.
The theory of the survival of species makes known to us that only those among us who can muster this "difficult" life will survive today to breed tomorrow! Those of us who will die in the battlefields of today's problems might as well start preparing for the world to come. Perhaps there, you will be given a second chance!
Therefore, in lieu of complaining, crying, lamenting e.t.c about the unfairness of today, let us pause to think of how best to resolve the issues that are before us.
