Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” — Philippians 2:14
And we are part of a warped generation of people.
Even so, He calls us to a higher standard.
To do everything without grumbling.
So we can become blameless and pure.
Avoiding arguments.
Living for Jesus, our Savior.

I like a good grumble now and then.
But the other day I heard a research study about complaining.
The results of the study showed that complaining to coworkers made you feel good initially, but later resulted in more frustration and anger long after the complaining session.
However, when the listening person presented a high-level point of view or helped the complainer see the bigger picture, they were happier about their situation over the long term.
And they then had the skills to empathize but also help others see the bigger picture.
And this resulted in happier and more productive employees who go along better with their supervisors.
