Live to complain or complain until you die, I think both phrases mean the same thing, and bring with them a certain annihilation of the will to live, they are thieves of peace, they are a real nuisance for those who are close, and often the complainer does it without realizing it, and even worse, he does it for situations that he cannot or does not want to change, so it becomes a useless whining.
When I was at university, one of my classmates was a bit of a complainer, not too much, but she was, I had become accustomed to her behavior, it did not bother me too much, but once she was surprised when a friend told her that she was always complaining, she was so surprised that she was incredulous, she even told me in a reproachful tone towards him...
Complainers excuse themselves by saying that they do it to let off steam, maybe so, but what is really uncomfortable is that they are so busy complaining that they miss the opportunity to admire and even enjoy things or situations that are present at that precise moment.
Over the years I have learned to deal a bit with this kind of situations, I usually try to stop the person complaining and change the focus, if he talks about the rain I tell him about a movie, and you will think: What is the relationship between them?, it is only for the purpose of stopping that train that is heading to the gorge of regrets.
The complaint is also destructive, and frequently it is accompanied of the criticism, together they do much damage, they impoverish the affective relations. Any sane person does not want to be around someone who has made him or her feel ashamed, sad or uncomfortable.
To live to complain is not to live, it is to die little by little. On the other hand, constant gratitude gives meaning to life, it is like waking up, opening our eyes to the blessings that surround us and that are part of our life.
When you realize that the people who do something for you, help you or give you gifts is because they wanted to, that they could choose not to do it and still preferred you, then you find reasons to be grateful. This applies to family, friends, acquaintances and even strangers.
So this is a good time to be thankful! Live and Be Thankful!
