Wa Wa Wa

This might get me in trouble, but so be it.  In this post I'm going to tackle one of my pet peeves, Complaining.

Complaining is something that often gets on my nerves.  Perhaps its because I'm naive and look for the best in things, or perhaps its just not who I am, but when I hear people complaining it makes me want to leave the room.  I don't have a problem with a thing here or there, I do that occasionally as well, but when there is chronic occurrences of whining about similar topics I begin to lose it.  Here's the main problem I have; people will complain day and night but they will never try to fix it.  All I want to say is "Fine, you found a problem with something, go and try to get it fixed then."  I don't even want to hear that you can't, that "I'm only a teenager" or "They'll never listen" or "what can I do?"  Guess what all those problems occur because you allow yourself to think them.  If you would actually try to do something you might just find out that they're all imaginary.  Also, even if at first you fail, then try try again.  It really works, believe me.  

The reason why I hate complaints so much is that personally I feel its a form of elitism.  If you're saying that one way is wrong then you are saying that you could do it better.  Well that's great, then come share your expertise with us...  No one ever does come forwards though do they?  Nope, they would rather mope around and whine about this or whine about that and never do a thing to fix it.

Once again, I'm not saying that every little complaint drives me off of my rocker.  I too will say "aw man, that's a really dumb rule," or "Gee, that probably should have been done like this" but I don't bring it up time and time again.

I guess that this was just me letting out some thoughts, and for those of you who would say "well look here, he's complaining too, isn't he?"  I answer back "Yes, I am complaining, but here's two things to keep in mind.  First you will probably never hear me speak of this again.  Second, I am doing something about this complaint by writing this blog, so back off."  Anyway, I hope I didn't offend anyone too much.

Until next time,
Godspeed.
