Before You Complain
Illustration★★★★When we write to a brother to complain of some of his opinions, let us consider of it three days before we write; pray God nine times to direct us before we take up the pen; read it in the room of our brother three times before we send it; seal it only when we love him for being God-like; send it when we would delight to be the bearer; while it is going, think with what tears of joy he will devour its contents; and remember to pay the postage. –William Miller in: Bliss, Memoirs of William Miller, 353

The point
William Miller's advice on writing complaints: wait three days, pray nine times for guidance, read it from the recipient's perspective three times, send only if you'd love delivering it yourself.
