“Of one thing I am sure. Complaining is self-perpetuating and counterproductive. Whenever I express my complaints in the hope of evoking pity and receiving the satisfaction I so much desire, the result is always the opposite of what I tried to get.

The tragedy is that, often, the complaint, once expressed, leads to that which is most feared: further rejection.”
