Why me?

The answer to "Why me?" is obvious; Why not!

I know for me, I do complain when my life is getting hard. It depends on the person I am complaining to and how often I can complain. I think it is normal for people to whine about their jobs, life, kids etc.. It makes me feel so much better after I vent.

You are very right that when people are faced with some odd situations, they would always say that 'why me'. They would even start cursing the Great God that why they are so unfortunate. They forget that when they get bounties and goodies they do not say - why me. They do not even bother to thank the Great God for His niceties. People should count their blessings, instead of complaining in life. Life is mix of joys and sorrows and happiness and sadness are two sides of the same coin and are complimentary to each other. Without sorrows, we just cannot realize what is happiness. I always count my blessings and remain thankful to the Great God for his kindness. Very good post.

Honestly , even when i have problems i never say why me ? I know that God is testing me and i just have to call for His help if all means were already exhausted and it's still a problem.

I admit there are times where it feels like everything goes wrong, just when I think I've finally managed to pull us out of the debt hole, something else breaks and back in we fall.

I agree but sometimes we became impatient, that's why we complain and murmur.

Ah yes, very good discussion. I have to agree with you. I learned from a pretty early age, their really is no use in whining and complaining, cause no one really cares. So I stop and try to think, 'things could be worse', or 'someone out there has it worst then me'. It tends to work most of the time. Although, I will admit, I have my moments, where, I need to vent. Once I do, I am good to go and life continues on.

I try and avoid people who moan and whine, as if the world owes them something.

As you say, the good and bad is part of life, but we are always ready to complain when something is wrong.

Whenever I start thinking, "Why me?", I then have to tell myself, why not me? The truth is, bad things happen to all of us and it's how we react to it that makes us different from others.

Yes you are absolutely right if their could only happiness their may be no joy of happiness remained .

I think at times like that we need to focus more on the positives in our lives as I find (even myself) that we focus too much on the negatives.

Complaints should be humorous to listen to, a good dosage of satire makes it more palatable.

I tend to think "why me" when I am hit with a string of bad things, like when we had car problem after car problem leading us to only having one car instead of two, but I tried not to complain to much to others about it. I know that there are plenty of people worse off than me, but it doesn't make the difficult times any easier.

I would agree the fact that life has loneliest moment and happy and I really ask myself about that question when encountering troubles.

No one likes to hear someone complain all the time. you could puish your friends away when you do that.

Unless a complaint will change matters, sometimes it can open somebody's eyes, otherwise its just a release. I don't like to spend much time or effort on complaining or on nagging, just 2 qualities that I dislike as they seem to attract negativity.

being competent is one of the most important quality that should be inculcated within us

You are absolutely right, my friend! Been sick for more than a decade (more than 15 years, to be exact), but I never whined. Asking why me when I was diagnosed with cancer? No, Ma'am. I asked myself, what now? It helped me think & decide what will be good for me, thanks God!

I agree with you completely. There will always be good and bad throughout our lives.
