Soapbox Alert!!!
One of my earliest life lessons came from the movie, Bambi. Bambi's rabbit friend, Thumper, tells him ... "If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all."
Later in my work life, I heard something at a conference that spoke to the same sentiment ... "If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind."
And more recently, I read a book called "A Complaint Free World" by Bill Bowen <http://www.acomplaintfreeworld.org/>. He posits that "Complaining spreads negative energy and negative energy cannot create a positive output."
I think Thumper had it right ...
