We all complain!

We all complain. We complain when there is a traffic jam. We complain when we lose net connectivity. We complain if there a long queue at ATM. We complain when India loses a cricket match.
Complaining has shades. Complaining out of desperation. Complaining because of realization of helplessness. In general it stems from “Expectations leading to despair”.

Most of the times, if not all, complaining shows a sign of weakness. Weakness for - ‘acceptance of what has happened’.

Thinking logically (i.e. with common sense), we can generalize and enumerate all possible scenarios that can lead to ‘complaining’ (surprisingly, there aren’t plenty) :-

- We had choice, but we chose what turned out to be ‘wrong choice’ (e.g. you purchased a bike after doing all necessary homework but now the bike breaks down frequently).
- We had no choice (e.g. getting trapped in traffic jam).

More often than not, real life scenarios won’t exactly fit into these, but would be some combination of them.
Had we had choice (former case), we had made our decision to what seemed the wise move at that time.
Had we had no choice, there is nothing to regret, frown or complain about!
It is as simple as that. And we all know it! Why do we still keep complaining?
Perhaps, as Dale Carnegie points out, “Our trouble is not ignorance, but inaction”.

There is a remedy or there is none
If there be one try to find it
If there be none never mind it.
