I thought of my mom when I read this post. Sometimes, I’ll point out that she’s complaining too much. Then again, who doesn’t complain?

Assessing if you are young seems simple enough, but even that can be complicated. One person’s young is another person’s old, and vice versa.

Being gorgeous seems simple but who can you trust to truthfully tell you if you meet this criteria? Family and friends are out of the question because they will never be truthful. Strangers of the opposite sex may have alternative motivation, so they cannot be trusted. Strangers of the same sex can also fall into the previous untruthful category, so they are out. The only group that leaves is acquaintances of the same, or opposite sex. However, this is a very small group to trust to such an important decision. And if you don’t know them very well, how can you really trust their opinion?

Finally, there is the successful part. The sad truth about success is that you can never really attain it to the point of satisfaction. Over-achievers will always want more, and moderate people will be accused of ‘settling’ or becoming lazy.

It seems in this modern day and age, we only have two options: choose to complain, or choose to stay quiet.
