The economy is bad, but what can I gain by being mad about it? Just push through and I try to succeed despite any adverse challenges you face. I don’t complain, because it does not get anything done.

And it is a challenge because it is easy to not work at being part of the solution (and instead be part of the problem). Thanks for posting this, it's really what I needed to hear.

We complain to distance ourselves from the emotional core of the issues so that "nothing" would require us to take action. For sure this in turn will drive one toward the idea that whatever you do won't matter, it wont make a difference. We actually want to be affective therefore we complain because it gives us the sensation of action, without forward momentum. So does it accomplish anything? In a word, yes. It provides a false sense of engagement. In another word, no. It offers no solution or contribution to the issue at hand. So why do we all do this very thing? I think it comes back to the idea of Hope. When we are hopeless we are profoundly addicted to the doubt and contempt that we feel toward ourselves, others, and the problems we face. We become addicted to the banal talk in order to kill the desire for change... because we must remove the smallest measure of hope so that we don't have to go through the PAIN of change. If i tie up all my energy in complaining then I feel like I am doing something without having to experience the PAIN of possible failure were I to engage in a solution. Goes back to an earlier discussion about why the keys to the castle are not enough. If I hope, then I am one step closer to the Faith that would require action. Being accountable to ones self, and others, is a lot for some to bare.

It doesn't have to be a good solution, but you should at least think about how to fix the issue a little before brining it up with someone else.
