No whining', reads sign on Pope Francis's door
The sign was given to the pope recently by Italian psychologist and self-help author Salvo Noe.
If anyone had any doubts how Pope Francis feels about people who always complain, the answer is now tacked to the door of his frugal suite in a Vatican residence: “No Whining”.
Under the explicit warning, the red-and-white Italian sign goes on to say that “violators are subject to a syndrome of always feeling like a victim and the consequent reduction of your sense of humour and capacity to solve problems”. The sign is adorned with the international symbol for ‘no’ — a backslash in a circle. It adds: “The penalty is doubled if the violation take place in the presence of children.” Then the closing zinger: “Stop complaining and take steps to improve your life”.
The sign was given to the pope recently by Italian psychologist and self-help author Salvo Noe. Francis promised Noe he would put it up in his office for a laugh.
