I get irritated when people keep complaining about factors that are beyond their control. I don't know if it's a male desire to be in control of everything around them but if that can be done, what is God for then? Perhaps it is an outlet for venting their frustrations out but it cannot change things that happen. If their words can be magical enough to reverse the progression of things, then by all means go ahead and complain.
It is a choice we make to let things affect us positively or negatively. If it has to be the latter, then we try to see it in a positive way. For example, if we cannot tolerate noise or the selfish behaviour of others, we try to cultivate the patience to bear with it. This needs silence for a start. By complaining, we are letting it disrupt our inner stability and health, and some things are just not worth it. The worst thing is if we retain those things within us even after having complained about them. Then we constantly complain about them. That is a major irk.
Another way is to analyse the reason behind the occurrences. There may be a need for such things to happen and we try to understand it. It may be worse for the other person, we may find. Of course, I am learning to make the right choices too. I am not a sage in this area.
