Satisfaction

Noting that I still do not hold any whatsoever desire to turn this into a diary, this article starts just from there. Months ago, on a show I watched, the fans moaned (=QQed) that there was not enough action. Today, I saw complaints that there is too much.

Human satisfaction. I am coming to think it must be an illusion for so many people. People that call themselves 'realists', people that think they're views are objective about the situation. On and on they go about what they are missing, what they would like not to see.

These people hate every single boss out there, every possible superior is suddenly the bad guy; meanwhile, they are always the victim! Awww... Poor guys/girls... Yes, sometimes we all fall into that trap, but that is normal. What isn’t however, is when this is constant.

See? The teacher clearly hates me, although my work is flawless, he put me an A= (if such a mark exists). Oh, and remember when he gave me that look which said 'FINISH HIM!' ? I have the worst of luck, my cell just ran out of batteries, the cable stopped right in the middle of my favorite soap. There is too little action, there is too much action, the fan base (amount of fans) is too big, the fan base is too small and last, but not least, somebody ate my cookies!

I repeat, sometimes there is a very valid reason to not be pleased with something. I am now. That being said though, when this reaches the level when everyone ceases to say anything positive, I think things might have gone wrong.

The teacher hates you, does he? At least you have a teacher. At least your school isn't suffering from bomb attacks. At least security doesn't fear suicide bombers or terrorists. Your cell just ran out of batteries - at least you have a place where to charge it in peace. But your cable stopped, oh noes!

Big wow. Is that worth complaining for one week? One month? Think a bit what you have. And, although my examples were a bit specific, take this into the bigger picture. Consider all the things that you claim to be big problems. Then, consider the amount of time you spent on moaning about them. Realistic? Give me a break.

What’s worse, it might reach a stage where nothing is as good as it should be anymore. Somehow, I don’t know why, people are convinced that if they keep moaning about things they can not change, they will feel better. If I didn’t know better, I’d think the mistake was in me.

Shit happens. It's not pleasant. And if it’s not pleasant, why do you constantly bother yourself with it?
