Why Help People Complain?

Complaining is indeed an art.  No one likes a complainer.   We’ve all heard it “ Never Complain, Never Explain”.  The preacher,  priest,  rabbi and or even the boss doesn’t always want to hear complaints.   However, have you ever seen a coach who won’t question an officiating call.  Can we even carry on a relationship without ever expressing our differing viewpoints.  Ironically our society likes people who turn the other cheek, especially when the complaint may require action, change or sacrifice on the part of others to make things right.

 

Every minute of everyday someone is being ripped off, mistreated or abused.  Many times cries for help are heard, but ignored.  Good Samaritans aren’t interested in helping you because you were overcharged, mislead, or taken advantage of, because of your good nature.  Certainly the demons of darkness are more than happy when good loses and evil is victorious.  Why does complaining receive such a bad rap from the very guiding moral forces in our society?  Legitimate complaints shouldn’t be based on envy, jealously, hatred or just improper motives.    Counting our Blessings is good medicine to avoid unreasonable or constant bickering and complaining, but sadly there are many abusers whom have used the good nature of moral fortitude to do what they do  best, which is take advantage of others.

 

Universal Tattletale: Liberty Complaints and Compliments strive to encourage complaints to help people vent their frustrations, resolve conflict and prevent deviant actions from continuing unnoticed.   Like the old saying goes:  Pray to God, but Row to Shore.
