life,without moaning about things, aswell as other people.Why dont they look how they can make their life better,rather than moaning about anything aswell as everything around them.I look at life this way,life is what you make it and not the way others make it or see it.

This is what we called life, isn't it? Life is about complaining, ranting about every little details, at the expense of other's feelings. They only want the best for themselves and that's it. Majority of us are just like that, failing to see ourself in others, and when we are facing the truth, we just refused to accept the fact. It's life.

MOst of us, tend to compare our life against others. We like to compare luxury, rather than count on being more fortunate. haha =D After all, money is power, and we tedn to feel jealous when we see friends, or those arrogant ple leading a far better life than ours.. Our ego and pride gets hurt in the process, thus we moan about the way life is, being so unfair etc.. haha =D Or even comes to luck, we will be ranting away why services are so poor, or alot worse. But it has never occur to those ple that, it's their own attitude that contributes to all the happenings to them.. haha

there was a point in my life in which i cannot see anything good for my future. thank God, now i am recovered. i think the way to get out from this gloomy site of life is to help others. after all, God would help one who help others!

i cannot say that some people do not want to help themselves or accept help because i just can't. when i was in a deep sh*t, as i said above, it felt like i was drowing or i could not breath. at that time i did everything that people said as positive thinking, relaxation, counselling etc and it works for a moment only. trust me, for many years when i woke up in the morning suddently all the problems in this world come to my head and i could not not stop or avoid it. if it happened at 4.00 am then i could not sleep and my whole day will ruin. my head is like a nest to every possible problem. if this could help somebody then i suggest that people who are feeling very low or depress to take honey (2-3 spoons) plus a glass of plain warm water every morning and evening. this one maybe the reason for my recovery. after taking this honey plus water then i felt that my body and mind become stronger. when i am stronger i can do many positive things and i can handle many problems with ease. however, i can't say my recovery is because of my effort. God pulled me out from the worse condition. what had happened was one night i pray and when i went to sleep suddently i can make myself calm. it has been three years since that day and now i would do as much as i can to help people who are in deep trouble and feel very low. nice discussion by the way.

There are some people out there that do not want to do anything to help themselves,even when offered help from other people.I feel that people that constantly moan about other people should look at ways to find something todo to improve their lives,as that way they would have less time to moan.

For some people, it may be just their temperament. The way they are wired. For other people it could be depression. An actual chemical imbalance maybe. But for some unfortunate few, it is because they have been beaten down so much in life by horrible circumstances that they just cannot see past their troubles. They feel hopeless and helpless. Some people have some Mighty huge burdens to bear.

So, you think that some ppl do not have huge burdens in their lives? That they have any reason to feel defeated? That they should just put on a smile and everything will be better?

That thinking is a little too black and white for me. I do understand that some ppl are just caught up in the habit of complaining. What I am saying is that sometimes there is a lot of hurt in someone's life and the complaining is a reflection of their pain. Compassion is as important as positivity is.

I think that there are alot of people out there that moan about other peoples life rather than taking a closer look at their own.I am happy with my life no matter how things are.I feel that all that we have we have paid for aswell as worked for,rather that scronged off the state.

i try to be like that,but i do have off days where i will moan about the kids or my boyfriend,i don't like to hassel my friends with my problems as they have enough of their own,i prefer to listen to their problems than let them listen to mine,if people moan it will bring them down further,they need to stop moaning and stay positive,moaning is a waste of a life
@jugsjugs (12967)

I think the reason why some people moan is because they do not like to see other people happy.Alot of people that moan,should look at their lives rather than other peoples lives and see how they can make their lives better.The reason some people moan is due to people having things that the moaners do have,ie things that they have worked for or saved for.

I guess some people can't see what they have. They are always looking for what they can get next than just appreciating what they have now.

I think that they seem to look at others lives knowing that they are making the most of life,aswell as all the things that other people have,wishing that they could have the same.I think that people can have the same as others if they were to change the way they are,rather than moaning about things they should get off their back sides and work for what they want to get in life.

They seem to look for the trappings of success Without wanting to work for that success. and , sadly they are not looking within for happiness, They are looking for happiness outside. now That I'm truly happy I understand happiness is something you can't buy in a store, It comes from within. I pity these people , they may never be truly happy. That's sad.

It is conditioning. Some are just negative. I think that sometimes it is because no one was positive with them and they have nothing positive to project because of this. It is sad. It is like a ripple effect. If your parents or guardians are negative and moan and groan then you are more apt to be the same way because this is what you know. You are conditioned.

I think that there are always people out there that are never happy unless they are moaning about things,aswell as people,to other people and it is the other people that they also drag down with them.I think that life is far too short to be moaning all the time and moaning do not sort things out at all.

Living without complaining, I'm trying to do. So far I complain too much, so my life becomes heavy. I am aware, complaining will not make things better, so I really want to reduce the complaint.

I am seeing life in alot different ways compared to a few years ago.I think that there are alot of people that moan and do other things thinking that it will make everything better,but it do not.Why waste time moaning when there are somethings that you can do to put yourself in a better mood,life is soo short.

Although indahfth maybe what you are seeing as complaing may not be complaining at all but just talking out and trying to sort out your problems?

I think it is human nature to try to bring others down to the level that they are feeling. If they are upset and not happy with where they are at in the world, then they try to subconsciously bring others down to their level. This makes them happier when there are others who can then share in their misery as they feel they are not alone. Most people do this out of habit. They do not even realise that they are doing it! This drives me nuts when people are like this. It was one of the reasons why I quit my trade that I had worked in for 16 years. Most people that I worked with in workshops were always complaining about something. Now I only have to worry about myself!

I think that there are people like you say that try to get other people to moan and drag them down with what they are on about.I feel like we only live once,so we should try to make the most of it.Rather than people moaning they should change the way they live.

Yeah, you are right, life is too short to moan about things. If people have an issue with anything, then they should get off their butts and do something about it instead of bringing everyone else down!

Well, people are unique that's all I can say. Some may have a good childhood and family when they grew up. Some may were not that fortunate so they grew envying all around them.

I think that life is what we all make it,not our past.I think that it is a waste of a persons time if all they do is moan,rather than trying to get on with their life and make the most of it.

But it may be related to psychological thing that was grained in them since childhood. It will be so hard to break it unless they found a really supporting people around themselves.

It's a difference of opinions, I guess. Not everyone can think like you in a positive way because everybody has experienced different things in life. Some are well off, while others are not so blessed. The environment also has something to contribute to that kind of thinking. Anyway, it would've been better if all of us can think like you but sadly, not everyone is as content with the life they lead as you do.

let me rephrase the last part to "you are"... well anyway, not all of us are content but at least you're positive way can actually enhance the outlook you have on your life. I wish I can think like that as well but another set of problems crop up once I get through a tough one.

I made another error "you're positive" is supposed to be "your positive" okay enough. ^__^ But I understand how you feel...some people are just born to complain too much.
6 Sep 10
I think that a lot of these people feel hopeless. Their actions follow the line of thinking that assumes life is what it is and there is nothing that they can do about it. I feel that these people don't grab onto the horns of their own life and control it because they don't truly believe that they can... and because they don't believe that they can, they can't. My hope is that these people will experience something that makes them trust themselves enough to create their own destiny.

I think that these people are the people who should sort their lives out rather thgan trying to interfer with other peoples lives.Some people are always moaning about all the things that other people do aswell as the things that other people have rather than doing things so that they have the same chances as others.I think these people are just too lazy to find other things todo.

i don't have the best or happiest life in the world, but i don't care to share all my problems, BUT i always, always remember that there are always people worse off than me, like those poor guys underground until probably christmas, the floods in pakistan, anyone who is suffering mental or physical abuse. There are many many people out there so much worse off. My problems fade away. For instance, it was my birthday last week, and i was so shocked and pleasantly surprised that so many people took the time and trouble to buy me cards and presents. my e mails were clogged up with good wishes off facebook etc., and it was really lovely and so what have i got to moan about ?? you are absolutely correct, life is what you make it and you should always try and look on the positive side
@jugsjugs (12967)

I always think of all the people that are alot worse off health wise than myself aswell as that there are people with no homes and not alot else.I enjoy every day as much as i can no matter what.I think that life is far too short to moan about things,as moaning do not get anyone any where in this life.

I have always tried to move past, the past and get on with life as it is today. I try not to dwell, I don't see the point, I look to try to enjoy life as it is very short. I have someone who is very close to me that always tries to dwell on the worst of everything. This person has been divorced to like 12 years now and still talks about the marriage ending like it happened yesterday. She just can not seem to move on. I know divorce is hard but I think after 12 years you should be getting on with your life. She never sees the good or happy things about anything and it really brings me down when I talk to her. I really wish she could try and grab a little happiness.
@jugsjugs (12967)

I think that if bad things have happened to people then they should try to pick themselves up by doing things rather than sitting moaning to others about other people,as we all know that this do not help anyone concerned.I also have been divorced aswell as remarried and i had and have children and i think that as they get older they do tend to understand,its just the waiting until they do understand how things were and how they are now.It takes time.

I understand what you mean. And I completely agree with you that life is what you make it. I do my best to make it fun and exciting. But then there are others who just see it as meaningless. Sometimes I feel like telling people "Go enjoy life," but then I realize that I have felt like them at times. Everyone has experienced a different life, so I do my best to be sympathetic. I wish everyone could be happy, but unfortunately not all of us can't because their are some who make it hard for us. Have a good day jugsjugs.

I feel like telling people that they should look at their life rather than moaning find away of improving their life,as that way they will find it alot better aswell as they will have the same things.Some people moan as they can not be bothered to work for what they want rather than sitting getting benifits from the state.I think that some people moan just to do a bit of upsetting to other people.

Hi jugsjugs, most people fail to see the common blessing that was given to them and keep on asking more than what they have or situation that they wish to happen. They do not now what they want in life that is why they end up so restless in seeking things that's never had. I am a handicapped, I don't have legs but I am thankful for what the Lord has given me and grateful for making me an instrument to remind people that there is a living God.

I think that there are alot of people out there that do not do anything about the way they live,their situation could be as good as anyones if they were to do the same as other people,like earn money and find a job.I can not go out to work and i can not get out of the house,but just like you i make the most of every day that i am here spending time with all of my family and friends.I think that life is far too short.

I agree with you. It seems people are always complaining around me. Over little things like having to clean their house or wait for a paycheck. Sometimes I want to bring up the fact that they have a house and a paycheck, and some people don't. But have you noticed that these same people don't take constructive advice very well either?
@jugsjugs (12967)
11 Sep 10
I have found that aswell.I find that there are alot of people that moan about others and never look at the ways that they could improve their lives.I find that some people should find things todo rather than going to other people to moan.
