Complaining

How is it you can talk about everyone?
You are always asking questions, then degrading them in their efforts.

I don’t see you doing anything to improve your life.
Except getting joy out of bringing others down.

Doesn’t that get tiring?

At least they are trying. Or is that what pisses you off?
That they are trying while you do nothing but complain.

I say good on them for breaking out of their comfort zone to work on their life.
May they have silent supporters who send good vibes.

May you see their effort and think maybe I should try also, instead of nitpicking at their flaws.

What you don’t realize is that the effort that they put into improving themselves will improve all aspects of their life.

Maybe once you see that improvement, it might motivate you to do something other than complain.
