The comments posted on a variety of other threads compelled me to share an observation I’ve made over the years. (Not necessarily an observation about the people who post messages here, since I really don’t know the first thing about them, but people I’ve run across, in general, throughout my life.)
The people who complain about the way things are, and who blame other forces (especially the government, big business, etc.) for all their woes, are never as satisfied, are never as well off, and are never as successful as those who don’t. These (successful) people choose to move forward in spite of those types of things, and they never think that their failures are because of them. I can’t think of a single exception to this.
Now that doesn’t mean that a person can’t voice an opinion about such things, to the contrary. But to let those things get in the way of one’s own future endeavors, whatever they may be, is always a matter of choice. And the messages to which I refer, are not mere opinion, but rather a vehicle to place blame on someone for something.
