And do not complain, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroying angel. — 1 Cor 10:10 BSB

Few attitudes cause more discomfort than a habit of complaining. It brings misery to the one who indulges in it and to everyone around them. The person who constantly complains is never happy. In fact, they seem to avoid happiness, always looking for something negative in every situation. And of course, they never fail to find it—because people usually find whatever they’re searching for.

It would be bad enough if the complainer only made themselves miserable, but unfortunately, they spread their unhappiness to everyone they come into contact with. Living to grumble is a poor way to use the gift of life and only adds to the world’s unhappiness.
