Complaining and its Dangers

Trouble finding the complaint department? Here are some thoughts in the meantime.

In a world of corruption, there is so much to complain about. it is very likely if there is a human involved, there is something that could be done better. This is especially true where faith-based organizations are concerned. Sometimes what makes an organization or effort good is what is most disliked. As much as it is true that things can be criticized, we are all subject to both advantages and disadvantages of a decision or set of decisions. Any attempt we ourselves would make to make things as we feel they ought to will be no less subject to criticism and will have at least as many flaws. There is a dimension to complain that is pure pride and another that describes something true/valid. The truth is if we become too attached to "armchair" criticism, we soon believe we are the solution to the problem, our hearts become bitter, and we begin to forget the good in favor of being right.
