Sometimes it’s nice to get it off your chest. But you’re right, it rarely helps.

The easiness of complaining is a reason I think humans are naturally negative …. probably due to selfishness. Just a thought.

Complaining rarely solves anything. But I find listening to others complain, especially the chronic complainers, is maddening.
I try to keep my own complaints between me, my vacuum cleaner and the lamppost! Hmmm, maybe that’s why my vacuum sometimes leaves some lint behind! A subtle message to knock it off perhaps?!
