Unquestionably, there are sad things in the world right now, even in my life right now, but grumbling doesn't make anything better. In fact, it makes things worse. The Buddha taught, "Every mind moment conditions the next." Grumbling gets the mind bogged down in the weariness of its own story. Happiness pulls it back out and gets it going again.
