Anyway, in case you haven't heard of it, the Purple Bracelet project is a "complaint-free" initiative started by a pastor from a Kansas City church. The idea is this, you wear a rubber purple bracelet on your wrist and if you complain, gossip or whine, you take off the freaking bracelet and put it on the opposite freaking wrist as a reminder of your bad freaking behavior.
You're supposed to reach a Zen-like point where the bracelet stays on one wrist for 21 days. 21 days without complaining! Do you know how much annoying crap happens in 21 minutes, never mind 21 days?
Now, before you think I'm about to dog on sunshine and rainbows, you must know that I am a reformed Purple-Bracelet Wearer. I went into it the same way I did with Kabbalah and the South Beach Diet (and Atkins and "30 Days to a Better Life" and "30 Days to a Better Vocabulary" and "30 Days to Stop Being Such a Pathetic Bandwagon Jumper-On-er"): I convinced myself that I had found the secret to a more fulfilling existence. THIS is going to be the thing that will change me. If I stop complaining, the flowers will bloom brighter. If I stop gossiping, baby squirrels, rabbits and birds will hop out from the forest and flock around me. If I stop whining, they'll all start singing a sweet chorus to my happy morning medley.
Without going into details, the purple bracelet now has a new home ... it's better this way ... there were scissors involved.
Despite my good intentions (and despite those of the Complaint Free World people), the purple bracelet did nothing more than unlock a previously unknown hell dimension in my mind wherein I experienced grumpiness in its most undiluted form. For me, not being able to complain, gossip or whine was akin to getting my tongue cut off and sauteed in front of me, Hannibal Lechter-style. The bracelet switching got so bad that at one point I had to stop and just hold the bracelet between my two wrists until the tantrum passed.
Here's the lesson I learned from that bracelet: Life is way too short for this kind of purple punishment. What's the point of smiling unless you're making fun of something absolutely irritating? What's the point of being nice when the only reason you're doing it is because your wrists are so chafed from all the switching and you absolutely can't bear one more trade-off? I say, complain, gossip and whine until it sounds like a symphony ...

Imagine your car didn t come with instructions telling you to fill the crankcase with oil of a particular viscosity.
