People always have something to complain about

In Israel people often complain about a lot of different things. The security situation. The lack of rules and organization. The danger on the roads. Lots of legitimate complaints.

In Canada people also complain. About the traffic. The bad city planning.

I know someone who has a lot of blessings in her life but the bad things just overwhelm her so that she is hardly able to see the positive. Which is crazy because the positive things are exactly the types of things she wants.

So often when I'm out, I hear people having conversations. One person is exclaiming about how someone wronged them. The person did this and that and how could they say that and it's just so terrible! But I've never heard someone walking down the street exclaiming, "Oh my God. I did this and that to the person and then I said blah blah blah. How could I do such a thing to them?" The person I hear talking on the street always is coming across as such a saint in the scinario. Amazing how I only hear the conversations of saints on the street!

What is my point? I suppose that it's easy to complain. Especially about how someone else wronged you.

If only I were able to be more positive.
