VeeVeeMyLuv: As funny as it may seem this is one of the major reasons why Nigeria is extremely backward attributing it to superstitions beliefs. For example a terrible road accident occured instead of scientifically and logically investigating what led to it, they start accusing devil as the culprit.
They complain instead of taking the bull by horns to take on the numerous problems bedevilling the nation head-on. Complaining leads to many other things. From less creativity, to illogical thinking, to even selfishness and crimes. And like you said, we use religion to cover everything up. It's a deadly disease that's eating people up from within and they aren't aware. |

A 1996 Stanford study suggests it's time to stop! Complaining, or even being complained to, for 30 minutes or more can physically damage the brain.
Researchers used high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and found "links between long-term stressful life experiences, long-term exposure to hormones produced during stress, and shrinking of the hippocampus," the study's authors wrote. (The hippocampus is the region of the brain involved in the formation of new memories and is also associated with learning and emotions.) https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/05/06/stanford-researchers-says-30-minutes-of-complaining-makes-you-dumber.htmlComplaining Is Also Bad for Your Health
While it’s not an exaggeration to say that complaining leads to brain damage, it doesn’t stop there. When you complain, your body releases the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol shifts you into fight-or-flight mode, directing oxygen, blood, and energy away from everything but the systems that are essential to immediate survival. One effect of cortisol, for example, is to raise your blood pressure and blood sugar so that you’ll be prepared to either escape or defend yourself.
All the extra cortisol released by frequent complaining impairs your immune system and makes you more susceptible to high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. It even makes the brain more vulnerable to strokes.
The Solution to Complaining There are two things you can do when you feel the need to complain. One is to cultivate an attitude of GRATITUDE. https://medium.com/the-mission/how-complaining-rewires-your-brain-for-negativity-96c67406a2a Lalasticlala Sissy3 Dominique
