Thanks so much for this excellent article and for sharing your thoughts and experience. Have to say, there are other cultures that love to complain. The Brits will tell you its one of their favourite pastimes, for sure - I can vouch for that - but of course, that's generalising, I know plenty of them who are not like that!
What's most important - as you point out - is that we always have the choice to be grumpy - or not. And even those people meditating in a Himalayan cave might be grumpy (I would not want to be in a cave! - but if I were, I'd make the best of it! LOL!).
The "more culture" is definitely not for me either. Ew.
Fab article, thank you, my friend! Well done! 💜
