When the time changes every year (and it doesn’t matter in which direction you are going) we always complain that we can’t get up that early or we’re going to bed and it is still light outside.
When the seasons change we find something to complain about. It’s getting too cold; I wish we had warmer weather. Then when summer gets here what do we do: complain! I can’t take this heat! When are we going to have colder weather?
This or that world leader can’t get anything done! We need change! And what happens when we get a replacement into office? We complain! They aren’t any better than the last “Joe Blow” that was in office.
We are such strange creatures! Let me relate this little story about a truly complaining man.
Shortly after getting married this man had his new bride prepare him breakfast for the first time within their wedded life. She prepared him TWO fried eggs along with his sausage and toast. When he sat at the table looking at the meal she had prepared he groaned: “You FRIED the eggs! I wanted them scrambled!”
The next morning she made his breakfast and this time she scrambled the TWO eggs for him. When he sat at the table he looked at the plate and groaned: “You scrambled the eggs. I wanted them FRIED!”
When she got up the next morning she found herself in a dilemma! How would she prepare his TWO eggs for breakfast this morning? So after giving the matter some thought, she FRIED ONE of the eggs and SCRAMBLED the other!
When her husband came into the kitchen and sat at the table he paused for some time starring at his plate. Then in his usual crumbling voice he uttered: “Woman, you FRIED the WRONG egg!”
This well illustrates that some times (and it is more often than not) we don’t have a real grasp on what it is we want. All we know is that whatever it is: We are going to complain!
