The Cult of Complaining

The Cult of complaining (The cover for the grievance is the pablum The Love and Light crowd)

“You can go back many times to the same place, and something strange happens if you go back often enough. You stop grieving for the past. You see that the past is something in your mind alone, that it doesn’t exist in real life. You trample on the past, you crush it. In the beginning it is like trampling on a garden. In the end you are just walking on ground.”

(V.S. Naipaul, “A Bend in the River,” quoted by Aatish Taseer)

My mother used to say that someday someone will come along and prove Freud wrong. But I know that you love to blame me. Of course she also knew that she had overstepped any reasonable limitations on the obligations of motherhood.

I said I wouldn't do the 10 aphorisms learned from the Streets of the Castro.

Complaining was once fashionable.

There are some psychological mechanisms that need some release of emotion, or so we are told.
