« I have long feared like the plague the simple idea of whining. Today I find the audacity to try a new path much more subtle: "at the same time that the Complaint will only run out with the complaint. Curious as it may seem, poison is sometimes the antidote." Vaccinating against despair our grieving mind by allowing it to complain until thirstier, here is a therapeutic that is worth a visit. What if we started by going straight, looking in the face at everything that undermines us, gnaws at us and peacefully confronting the long procession of disappointments, disappointments and setbacks? Life invites us to hold nothing back, to vent all resentment. But it is still necessary to engage in it smoothly, without pouring our bile on the first comer. If getting bogged down in jeremiads is devastating, denying injuries, pretending nothing happened, it's going straight into the wall. Basically, the remedy is to clearly circumscribe what is jamming and disturbing us. »
