Complaining.

We all know someone who has advanced the process of complaining to a work of art. Sometimes funny, at other times exhausting, these people have the ability to find a problem just about anywhere. Complaining is simply the ability to see what's not working in our life, and in small doses it's not a big problem. When however, it becomes a big part of who we are, than it's time for us to realize that we've been spending all our energy in a negative way. If things aren't working in our life it's good to realize it, but lets not stop there, rather lets follow through, find a solution and apply it. Are you a complainer? Is there something you can do about it?

Hello Pose. A good complainer is supposed to be one who tries to solve the problems without letting them go on passively. So if we complain about something, we ought to try our best to work it out. If you are satisfied with your current situation, try to improve it without complaining about it because it won't work by just complaining without any real actions. Is it so, please? Thank you for your discussion, Pose. Happy posting.

haha.. It's actually very simple.. If complains can really work, then why are there still so many complains??? lol =D MOst ple complain because they just wanna feel good, and some complaint, are because they are petty.. They cant take it lying down and they complain because of poor attitude.. lol =D I have seen alot and experienced alot ^_^
They can complain for all they want, but in the end, they know that nothing will change in the end except for verbal promises only.. Thus, i find thta it's totally meaningless to complain just to suit themselves when it's their attitude that has got a problem.. lol

I am sometimes guilty of that.
In fact, I think many people in my country are guilty of that. We are guilty of complaining about out government.
Unlike other countries, citizens in my country do not really have much say. For example, recently they raised the Utilities bill by 21%. We can't protest as if we do, we'll go straight to jail and so all we can do is to complain. Even as we complain, we must be careful of what we say. If not, they might sue us for slander.
Actually, we only complain for the sake of it. We just need an avenue to vent our frustrations.
Other than that, I hardly complain. I feel that my life as a whole is a very blessed one. Things might not go my way sometimes but isn't it the same for everyone else? There's no point in complaining. I rather spend my energy on more worthwhile activities.

I myself am not a complainer. Takes too much energy! LOL But my mother is the biggest complainer you could ever meet so let me complain about it! LOL
It seems that she always looks for negative in anything. I find myself constantly changing the subject to try to hit on a positive one and sometimes it just cant be found.
You're right it is very tiring and I find myself getting short fused with her so I just try to focus on general topics like the weather and things. Sad to see someone in this state of mind and it can be very frustrating.

I am not a complainer, but I do come from a background of people who think that my voicing of less than positive opinions constitutes complaining. No it does not. I say what's on my mind, then I go do something about it, and if I can't do anything about it, I make sure that someone who can hears about it.

I think everyone complains about something once and a while, but I agree that sometimes people complain to much and should learn to appreciate life more and try not to dwell on the negative things that are happening in there life and just try to remember that what ever is happening in there life someone else may be going through something ten times worse.
