Daily Insight: Complain

A wise man once said “I can sing about love lost, but what if there’s no love to lose. If everyday I saw sunshine and it never rained the blues. If my fears were tears would they fall? If a smile could stretch a mile even if I have no money at all. But I’m willing to take whatever life brings, because you’re the only one who seems to know me. Even if the bad times call if I had you back I wouldn’t complain at all.”

I’m going to go ahead and interpret what Tweet was saying like I’m a translator. To me it all boils down to one thing. You can complain all you want about the things you don’t have, but whatever happened to just appreciating what you do? You complain that you don’t have any money, and you’re a broke college student (I’ve claimed this title), yet you’re in college to begin with, and have a roof over your head, and food to eat and feeing your mind daily. You complain about how this guy and that girl broke your heart, but you’ve experienced love to begin with, something a lot of people don’t ever get to feel. People constantly look at what other people have and start to count the things they don’t have, and of course complain about it. You complain about how your back is aching and your bra too tight and your booty shaking from left to right….ok that was a joke. But you get the point.

I say this to say not everything is going to be perfect and you will want to count other peoples blessing and compare them to your own. But life is not about that, I bet if you took a good hard look you wouldn’t be able to find too many damn things to complain about. I know I can’t.
