Complaint Chain Reaction...

By Vichara

There are so many happy things in our lives and yet it seems easier to NOT be happy at times. Problem is not being happy can grind the beauty of the day into fine grains that will blow away with the next slightest breeze. It is tough not to complain. Complaining can sometimes be the valve to release tensions and anxiety into the universe and get it out of your system. Of course by releasing it, it needs to go somewhere and that could be a problem because it will reach someone else (either orally or visually) and possibly create a CCR. No, not the famous rock band but a Complaint Chain Reaction (CCR). So how do we ease the world from too much complaining and create chain reactions? We get ourselves a big glass Mason Jar, the kind that your Grandma would put her famous strawberry jam in. We shall call it our CCR Jar and when we find ourselves wanting to complain we take the lid off the jar, release all of the complaints into it, put the lid back on tightly, hold it up in front of us and notice something. Notice that sometimes its just a lot of hot air that appears to be nothing.
