01.05.10 The 8th Practice for Immunising Your Heart from Bitterness and Unforgiveness

8. Do not Work yourself up against ‘the System’

Have you ever come across people who are so embittered against a country?  It is common for them to resort to cursing politicians and others, blaming them each time there is a mishap.  There is nothing wrong with expressing yourself against a country’s system, in case you are displeased with what is happening.  In fact, it is a citizen’s right to do so.  But when it propels you to be so stuffed up with resentment, then you have something else going.  

Therefore, know that dispensing your energy through complaints can be fruitless, as your ramblings may not yield a meaningful change for you and others in your environment.  You may be better off converting your dissatisfaction into positive energy by engaging in some productive efforts that will benefit your community.
