I made the mistake the other night of complaining out loud. It is one thing to complain under your breath so that nobody hears you or knows what you are complaining about. But when you complain out loud, then you run the chance of somebody hearing you.

you are.” 

You do not have to hit me over the head with a hammer. That is the thing
about my wife. When she is right, she is right. 

At least it gave me a new perspective on the world around me. Also, a
new appreciation for crazy. I began to see her point of view, as 
humbling as it was, and realize that crazy has a place. 

As I further thought about this, I began to realize that everybody is
crazy only in different areas of their life. Some people's crazy is 
more noticeable than others, but everybody has that crazy gene. I guess 
that is what makes us human. 

After some deep reflection on the subject, I have come to the point
where I want to praise crazy. I never thought of it along this line, 
but everybody has the right to change his or her mind about anything. 
Personally, I would like to change my mind for one that really works. 

One man's crazy is another man's delight. What is crazy to one person
may be something rather important and enjoyable to another. After all, 
who am I to say what is crazy and what is not crazy. It is important to 
find someone else with something that you can truly appreciate. 

I thought about that and what Solomon said, “Be not wise in thine own
eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy 
navel, and marrow to thy bones” (Proverbs 3:7-8). 

Instead of spending so much time complaining about other people, I need
to exercise the fine art of appreciation and learn how to praise people 
on their terms.
