It seems like people would rather bitch, whine, complain, and blame all kinds of other things and other people for what they don’t like about their own lives.
Several years ago, I worked in a call center, of sorts. There was a very overweight guy who worked there. During night shift we had the TV on. I’ll never forget him yelling at the TV once when there was some news story or some shit on about weight loss. He started yelling something about “people who have tried everything to lose weight” but couldn’t, or some variation of that. Like, “oh, the injustice!” I believe he was, at the time, drinking his second 2-liter bottle of soda that night. Yes. Seriously. He typically drank TWO 2-liter bottles of soda each shift. I’m not even going to start in about all of the shit he ate.
Then there was the fuckwit on YouTube the other day. Yeah. I know. THE fuckwit?! Like there aren’t millions of fuckwits on YouTube? Focus, dammit. Yeah, the other day a friend put a YouTube link up on Facebook with this guy losing his shit over Justin Bieber. I made it through most of the ridiculousness before clicking away. Still, it got me wondering. The gist of his whinging was about how “Justin has so much money, while I have to work two jobs … blah cry blah, I need my panties changed and a fresh nappy … ” whatever!
Okay, douche. What the hell does Justin’s money have to do with you? Did he, personally, go to your house and take money from your piggy bank? Did he compete with you for a job and win? I seriously doubt it. He probably doesn’t know or care a thing about you. He didn’t plan and live your life – YOU did. Since you filmed your video in a car and posted it on YouTube, I’m going out on a limb and making the assumption that you don’t live in squalor, eat food from landfills, and sleep in your own sewage at night. Guess what? To some people, you’re the one living like a king and not appreciating it. But that isn’t the point. The point is, if you’re unhappy with your situation, you need to change it. Blaming someone else for your decisions isn’t going to make your situation any better. It’s just going to get you revved up, angrier, and less in touch with the part of your brain that could very well lead to your big break.
Or maybe you’ll become rich and famous for bitching loudly and publicly about a famous kid. Would you then thank him for your success, since THAT would actually have had something to do with him?
I hear it in many places. I’ve done it, myself. I’m sure I still do it sometimes. I’m aware of it and making progress, though, and that’s what matters to me.
Listen to people when they complain sometimes. It’s fascinating. There are a lot of people who bitch about the “stupid landlord” or “damn credit card companies” wanting money. Okay, you owe them money, you’re not giving it to them, and they suck?
Interesting!
