[QUOTE="Something Clever, post: 1500947, member: 20666"] I was eating in a crowded place today and all I could hear above all the noise was a loud female on the opposite side of the large dining floor complaining about other people to whoever she was sitting with. I sat at my table trying to focus on my meal but could not help but think to myself how I sounded when I used to complain. To other people, I probably sounded no different than that female. I make daily effort now to keep all complaints silent, even to myself. I have found that there will always be something to complain about, and if someone lets complaining take their attention, they lose sight of good knowledge and solutions to what bothers them. Complaining is placing too much value on your own self-righteousness, while abandoning your faith in what God has planned. Man knows nothing next to God; our righteousness means nothing. [/QUOTE]
