The complaining and drama of those little things we really shouldn't sweat tends to to exasperate me. When grown adults nitpick, point fingers, and expend so much of their energy ranting about other people, I think the only thing adult about them is their age. Why do people waste so much time being negative?
It's unlikely anyone can go through life without venting or complaining about something once in awhile; it's an easy thing to fall into. Being able to stop and push your focus in a different direction is what separates the adults from the overgrown children. It's my opinion that those who preach religion and judge others' behaviors are in the same category as the overgrown children.
Nipping that outwardly obsessed tendency is really as simple as asking yourself a couple of questions when the need to point fingers or judge surfaces. Why does having to point this out matter to me? Will my complaining or nitpicking here make a positive impact on my life, or the lives of those involved? What qualifies me to pass such judgements?
The need to shift focus on others in a negative way, often fools only the similarly minded. Those who behave in this way are most often guilty of the same things they are whining about, or at the very least something they don't want anyone else to see. It's one of the biggest indicators of insecurity, and easy to recognize.
To be a true adult who is secure and positive, a person should turn that outward focus inward and change those things that they feel the need to hide by nitpicking everyone else.
