Thou Shalt Not Whine

We have become a Nation
a Society
of
prissy-pants
cry baby
whiners.

Turn on the TV
and more than half
of the broadcasts
are negative.

Even Blogging
has become
a public
soapbox
for personal
whinage.

Everyone wants
validations
appreciation
recognition
from others.

And I'm wondering
if all this
venting
dumping
vomiting
is doing anybody
any good?

I have to think
it is.
That expressing our
grief
loss
anger
dissapointment
in our personal blogs
is better for us
and cheaper than
professional therapy.

But if everyone who comments
blows smoke up your bum
commisserates too well
--
I wonder if perspective
is lost?

I don't know the answer
I'm just putting this out there.

So here's my advice to the people in my life, who shall remain anonymous on here,
but they know who they are:

1-Sign the papers. Get it over with and move on. She isn't going to suddenly become sane again and be who you want her to be. Stop wasting your time and money on her selfishness.

2- Grow up. Stop living in the Past and regurgitating all that mess. Noone talks to you because we can't handle constant vomitage...it gets nauseating after awhile.

3- Drugs have eaten your brain and your heart. And until you get help, like real professional help, you will die alone and miserable.

4- Circumstances are not going to change. The only thing you can control is how you handle them. And I wouldn't wanna be you for all the chocolate in Belgium.

5- He's exactly who you think he is. period. You enable him. So stop that.

6- Someone needs to tell you to stop blaming your Mom for your choices. You're not a kid anymore and those excuses are tired and old.

7- I love you, but your negativity reveals your immaturity. Grow up already. If you want that picture-perfect marriage, you need to be honest about what you are and what you want.

8- Excuses are not subtitutes for hard work and doing your part.

9- If you don't want to be a member of the church you chose to belong to, then stop talking about how miserable you are, and go somewhere else. Or live it. I'm tired of reading how put-upon you are by your husband because he doesn't let you "question" enough, etc. Find out for yourself what it means to live your faith and stop looking around for someone to blame for your wishy-washy-ness.

That's it. I'm not going to whine on this blog anymore. And I'm not gonna follow those who whine either. Figuring things out is one thing, but consistently whining about how unfair life is, and picking cheerios out of the carpet is frankly boring. You don't want your child to throw their juice bags on the floor, teach them not to. Want your kids to stop walking all over you?--stand up to them and let them find their own strength--they'll thank you for it later, I promise.

Enough. Let the Sun Shine in....
