Our Birthright

To crib, complain,whine etc., is our birthright,and a strong human trait. We love to complain about anything and everything. It could be weather, government,boss, neighbour and most of all our loved ones… spouse, kids, parents,in laws…It is amazing how they can speak at length about their favourite punching bag!!

Parents will have a constant complain that their kids don’t listen, have no discipline, and no regard for time at all… hence their life/ career won’t be great!! Exceptions are always there of course!!

I love to call all such people as grumpy and try to tell them to look at positive things in life and people!!

I remember reading about it, a husband and wife,in their old age, decided to write a diary each, about whatever complaints they had with each other.

The wife diligently wrote at length and finally filled up the whole diary, husband had finished long time back. Well they exchanged the dossiers and started reading. The husband found not an iota of space was left unused by his wife…he read some, left some..the wife on the other hand found all pages blank,but for the last one.

It said that he would always be grateful to his wife for looking after his parents, kids and himself. He was thankful for her support through all the ups and downs in life and how she was a pillar of strength during good and not so good days. He thanked God for blessing him with such a loving,kind, caring and beautiful wife.

The basic gender difference hasn’t changed much since homo sapiens came into being. But we have come a long way since then. People are comfortable in each other’s domain, like providing for the family and looking after them at home is no longer defined, male as well as female is happy to be doing whatever suits them, not whatever is designed for them.

Only thing that hasn’t changed an iota in our DNA is to blame others for our misfortunes, crib and complain constantly, it may be sunlight, Mars, government policies, education, friends and family…the list is endless. I believe when this behavioural changes take place in each one of us, we can say we have definitely come a long long way..

Looking forward to that day!! Till then enjoying the company of grumbling people in my life. Mind it , I enjoy their company, don’t mind it at all .
