(I touched on the subject previously:
Complaining vs Changing vs Accepting
But it merits further exploration)
-There’s acceptance
-There’s determination
-And there’s whining
Whatever you say,
whatever you think,
whatever you do,
whatever you feel,
is a manifestation of one of those 3
Acceptance is calm
Acceptance is understanding
Acceptance is contented
Things are what they are
The bad is bad, the good is good
You are interested in the good
Therefore you give yourself good, and give good to the world
Everything else exists too and you accept it as what it is
You don’t think about it, you don’t talk about it, you don’t feel bad about it
You’re thinking about the good, talking about the good, and feeling the good
Determination is resolute
Determination is firm
Determination is empowered
Things are what they are — but perhaps let’s try to make things better
Let’s TINKER a little with the status quo
Let’s see what’s possible
The bad is bad, the good is good,
You’re still interested in the good
But you look for the good in improving the less-good,
You view it as an opportunity
You look at the less-good and find ways to improve it
Make plans to improve it
Execute plans to improve it
Tinker with it and still improve it more
Learn from it and improve it
“Positive” (“being positive”) is just will to improve
Anything but ACCEPTANCE and DETERMINATION is WHINING
Anything but acceptance and determination is being a WHINING LITTLE BITCH
Anything but acceptance and determination is being a WHINING LITTLE BITCH
–Criticism without ANY added value, any direction of improvement = whining
–Scepticism which doesn’t result in improved methods but only results in doing nothing = whining
-Innocent critical remark which is NOT BACKED by actual resolve to do better, to personally make a change, make things a little better = WHINING
-Any fucking expression of disconsolate moods, because the world is of course so horrible and it’s everyone’s fault but yours = WHINING
We normalised whining, of course
We’ve too much time to whine
We created institutions with the sole purpose of whining
We elevate in our society those who are best at whining (best at talking, which is 90% whining)
The true winners are those that don’t whine
You don’t see them! Because those who whine the loudest are those that get your attention
True winners are busy LOVING LIFE
Whining is NOT an act of loving life, obviously
True winners are too busy loving life or IMPROVING SOMETHING TODAY— to find time for whining
Please be honest with yourself,
Please vigilantly observe yourself,
And notice if you’re DOING SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE,
If you’re putting constructive, beautiful thoughts in your mind, your heart,
or if you’re WHINING
I mean it
You don’t even realise when you’re whining
In your mind you’re actually improving the world!
No
You’re whining
If you were actually improving anything of true substance (e.g. your life) — then you would quickly run out of things to whine about!
Please be honest with yourself
Cure this disease
Focus on love and improvement
It’s really fucking simple
Focus on love and improvement
Please be simple
