I think that misfortune in the quote refers to the hand of fate or something similar. Maybe I'm not a man since I complain a lot about so many things that are our of my control and I can't fix. But such is life. I was raised by complainers, so it's a habit thing.
However, I saw the other comment on the quote and couldn't agree more. There's something different about Injustice and discrimination that could only be fixed by raising your voice and complaining about it. At least, that would be the start of it.
I believe the word man doesn't refer to the gender, but mankind. I could be wrong.
Having said that, I don't think that excessive complaining, especially about things outside of one's sphere of influence, isn't productive. We all have a whinge, but then comes a time for evaluation, decisin and action.
And yes, raising of one's voice, a complaint as such, about injustice, descrimination and so on is likely to have a ripple effect. I guess it's all subjective.
I tried to play a little with the words. But it could also be interpreted like that. Who knows?
There's a lot of coping mechanism. Whining is one of them and it helps get a lot of negativity out. I use it to keep bad thoughts from festering in my head. Similar to a kiai in marital arts.
I'm not above a little whining, but I always follow it up with action because, for me, action moves things forward.
I hope you have a god weekend and have something enjoyable planned.
Sure. Same around here. I whine but I'm still doing the stuff that needs to get done. No Toher way to move things around.
Same to you, mate. Though my weekend will only be a lot of work
Working on the weekend? Me too actually, but not my job, just around the house, which I enjoy. Have a good one, I'll see you around at some stage I hope.
Well, I'm working on some instruments, so that's my bread and butter. It's enjoyable. Though, I get time to do some other stuff. About stages, maybe just the stage of hive as I'm not interested in playing for public anymore.
