Complaining is one of the ego’s favorite strategies for strengthening itself.
I know I read this line by Eckhart Tolle (in A New Earth) years
ago. I read it again a few weeks ago and this time it has been hanging on. I’ve started noticing my complaints and how,
when I pay attention, I can feel the wall they create that separates me
from something, often a person who has inspired my complaining. I am fascinated by the prevalence of
complaining and some of the trivial things that inspire it. This awareness has lessened slightly my
complaining mind. Sometimes I laugh at
the things I complain about. I am
curious about the nature and value, if any, of this addicting habit.
