Stilling complaint

JAMAE WOLFRAM RICHARDSON

Chronic faultfinding is not only unpleasant for others; it often brings physical discomfort. But neither positive thinking nor apathy about pressing difficulties really stills complaint. Much more is needed.

What stills complaint is the understanding that God, all good, the creator of all, neither produces nor allows evil. We all are His offspring; and His child, or idea, can't be a cause of grievance, a victim of it, or a complainer about it. To pierce the pretense of evil, we must discern its nothingness; this is to handle evil scientifically, to destroy it. And where must we do this? In the quiet of our own consciousness, through communion with God.
