Complaining And Resentment is the name of the next section of A New Earth. The ego likes to complain because when we complain it infers that we are right and someone or something is wrong. Being right gives egos a superior, stronger sense of self in comparison to the inferior, weaker, person, place, situation or thing that it's complaining about. The ego also likes to resent things, because it also gives us a feeling of being right. Resentment is also similar to when children get mad. Some children get mad and throw temper tantrums , because they believe their anger will get them what they want... resentment is the same type of condition in adults. I like what Buddhist philosophy says about resentment... "Think about the benefits of resentment or forgiveness, and choose."
