Why are there so many keys???

‎My journey on this topic started with a statement made by a friend! 
"Negativity will never promote you. Complaining about where you are is the very reason you are STUCK where you are."

I asked myself how does this statement make one change, because now the world is full of such statements. What is a complaint? Are complaints effective? Isn't it a method to say I need help, or is it a way for releasing pain or frustration? Why do we react so badly at people who are perceived to complain?

Is it that someone has hit a raw nerve, afraid that he might be found guilty of another's issue and will have to pay a price and in the process trying to keep you quiet? Or is someone saying "Man, there is nothing you can do to change what has happened", failing to ask someone a simple question "what are you going to do to avoid it happening next time?".

Our carnal ie "natures defined defensive systems" goes for attack. It's all in the genetics as well as acquired habit over time "guilt conscience", obviously not knowing how best to approach a problem. We are all each others counsellors through statements we make and beliefs we project.

Althoe I may agree with the general reactions to complaint, initially i view it as a "statement", it sure evokes a certain level of negativity in most. Its because we all have questions lurking in our hearts that create the issues we have. Often times issues are presented as complaints and when someone complains they are asking for help, which means they want to find out why or how and solve the problem. 

Shutting down people in order to make them proactive does not allow the release of the emotion to allow reason to kick in, which affects the actions needed to take place. Complaining is necessary but it has to be presented in a manner that allows others to offer help. When you ask questions rather than make statements, you hear opinions, one or more of which maybe a solution without giving out your experiences that others may misunderstand and take as an accusation.

The act of confession has lost its power over time. When you tell a priest "counsellor" what hurts you or what you have done, you are releasing the guilt that creates the emotions which prevents you from prayer ie pondering on how to rectify or live with a mistake. Therapists today have replaced the duties of then priests. Therapy is what people gain from communicating, its an acknowledgement that you are not alone going through a thought and this makes you realize you are not alone. Knowing that you are not alone allows you to temper your emotional acts that if acted upon may further trap you in guilt.

People don't like wise asses who like to pass on wise statements, because it is often presented as an accusation that they couldn't figure it out themselves, the person(s) feels bad as it is. When you make statements present it in a manner that allows the individual to explore himself or a given task.

Why does a door have so many keys part 2?

Why does a door have so many keys? That's because there are many key holders to the door. There are many answers to a problem, it's left for the individual to pick which one suites him best. Never be afraid to ask the public questions because you are opening yourself to many solutions paths. Sometimes your mind can do what you can't let out into the public. Religeons are methods of communication with our creator, which where made available suiting the heart of any given individual within a group region. Disagreeing with religious doctrines means you disagree with how they choose to understand life, they will view it as an attack because we all have what we are protecting be it personal or social.

The Christian believes that if slapped give another cheek, fighting the Muslim in reverse instead of an eye for an eye, to which Buddha says everyone will go blind and red in the face. But the global message is trying to tell the world "do not treat the other in the way you wouldn't like to be treated"! This is hard to judge in many cases as there are many invisible factors that lead to an event. Investigate then proceed!

We leave in a world that is reactive "greedy", etc more emotional rather than rational. There is beauty but we soundly confuse emotional people with sensitive people.
Various religious practices are pathways to finding solutions in finding faith "Answers", you still have to do the leg work. All you have to do is choose one or maybe two, mix them up to your pleasure. Should anyone find a liking to your way then be glad you found a brethren. I for one believe in peace, but I also know we can't embrace it without having war sometimes. You wouldn't know joy without pain, know light without darkness, black without white. Everything has an opposite which is what science is trying to tell us with facts of what the mind sees as matter which sometimes may take away the glow from faith. We are here to find balance hence there are so many extremes "ways".

Stay steady in search for your unknown. See you when you get there!
