This old guy once said to me when I asked him how he was doing, “Why complain, who would listen?” I used to think he was saying, nobody would listen because nobody cares but I’ve just had a ah,ha moment, after recently reading “Atlas Shrugged”… I now think he was saying, the quality and type of people that would listen (aka moochers/victims), the sort that would sympathise with you are not the sort of people he’d want to surround himself with.
I think the producers would say, “all that might be true, but now what? What are you going to do about it? What action will you take to change your self-created circumstances that you now, no longer desire?”
