Kvetch, Complain, Demand

The theme song of modern man:
         Kvetch, complain and demand!

         Gratitude, thankfulness...
         Are you serious, my man?

         No way, no how, blame is their game.
         Doing nothing for humanity, just driven to shame.

         Twisted souls, tormented by needs.
         Not realizing they, themselves are pictures of greed.

           
         Wanting a world with nary a synagogue or a steeple.
         Just muttering masses of kvetch, complain and demand sheeples!

Arturo, thank you. Perhaps, instead of rioting and looting, they could form a new musical group named Kvetch, Complain and Demand and earn some money. Life is not easy for anyone on earth. They somehow never learned humility and gratitude. They prefer having "attitude".. It's a tragedy and gets them nowhere....this applies to all humans! Panagiota xoxo

Hello Darlene! Trust God on this one, please. No country is without violence. People are so nutty now. They think if you support peace, you are a racist?! That's really crazy. So, if your husband is beating you~and you call the police, you are a racist? Ellison of Minnesota said that. The new PD would be controlled by the wastrels in the House of Representatives. Defunding police means nobody would be able to own a gun. If you criticize BLM, you are evil. If you say all life matters....you put your life in your hands! Nice, eh? Panagiota xoxo

Easier for some to complain than do. I was always a doer, getting joy from following my own bliss--blaming no one for my flaws. Oh well, sheep being led to failure. Stop with the apologies! Enough! They are driving me mad.

Right on! I am dying from listening to excuses: why me or my group cannot achieve.true joy comes from failing, getting up and getting on with it. You, we're raised right or had mentors along the way. Too bad, the news has taken on the job of defining reality and morals. Most have none, they spoon feed negative narratives worldwide. I hope they choke on seeing the harm they have created to countries, and their agendas of "hate the police"is rampant in all nations. No mature adult can buy this.if one wants to go insane watch TV news. It is the new Bible De Jour. the press are the new priests? But these are sanctimonious lawbreakers of God's laws, successful are they not? In pitting group against group? Then..be sure to pin the tail on the honky. It's so nuts, it's almost like a bad joke! We all were made by one God, one Father. We are all members of the human race. None superior to another. Even atheists and agnostics know there is mo master race. Panagiota xoxo

Tom~ it's called envy. If you have a better car, I hate you?? If you worked hard, you get hated, too. My Dad told me "The world did not owe me a living." today, people do think the world, their government owes them? I know people who went from homeless to be millionaires. It can be done in the USA. Weird standards here. Hollywood or musicians make millions and it's fine. But if you are a businessman, create an industry, provide thousands of jobs you are despicable?? The demand for everything free is cracked. Try Cuba. All equal. Each person gets 325.00 a month but no freedom. We each have created our what we have today. If we are not gazillionares so what? Be glad who you are. Humility needed in this world Panagiota thanks, Tom
