With age comes wisdom. And one tends to mellow. as you get older. You become more patient and tolerant of others. Moaning and constantly complaining doesn't solve the problem. And you shouldn't blame everybody for your mishaps. You gotta take some culpability too. There's a saying for this. It's better to light a candle;rather than curse the darkness. In other words, instead of assuming
everybody is to be blame,you initiate or illuminate some knowledge or find solutions to the problem.

Almost everyone complains too much. In fact, complaining at all is complaining too much –Â though there are ways of expressing your dissatisfaction that don't amount to complaint.
Thing is, don't be too hard on yourself. Just acknowledging the tendency is half the battle. It's like coffee; a cup a day isn't great for you, but it's usually acceptable. You just need to recognize the point at which you really start having a problem.

I thought I was not so much of a complainer until I over heard my stepson tell my daughter she was turning into a whiner just like her mother. WOA! Was that a hard one to swallow. Now I have been looking a little harder in the mirror... perhpas he was right and I need to take a chill pill. Or perhaps he would have to be put in the same situation to really be able to say a little pissing and moaning was not called for.

Lol I guess I'm a bit on the young side, but I know that I can ***** and whine a lot too. I think sometimes you have to just look at how stupid the thing you're whining about is. Sometimes you have to humble yourself and put yourself into perspective. Lol that's all I have as far as my "wisdom".

I'll admit it's one of my worst traits, lol.
To be wise or to gain wisdom is ones willingness to learn from their mistakes and to not repeat them in order to be a better individual.
I also feel that sometimes when we whine, complain, or be a pessimist is a sign of laziness.
That we either fear change or we simply can't accept it.
