We live in a society where everyone complains.
People complain about their lives. They complain about their partner or ex partner or the fact that they do not have a partner. They complain about love being lost and noone appreciating their love. They complain about the fact that noone loves them.
But the more time we use to complain and the more time we think about this, the more time we neglect the people around us that really love us and want to care for us. We are so miserable that we do not realise that there are people around who really love us.
People complain about their jobs. They complain about the low salary they are earning, the long hours they are working and the lack of satisfaction they are having with their jobs.
But if suddenly, through some mishap, we are no longer able to work, and we are not eligible for any social benefits, would we still complain? We would be willing to do any kind of work to earn a living, and we would not be concerned about the long hours or job satisfaction as long as we are able to support ourselves.
People complain about the lack of money they have. They complain that they are not able to afford things in life.
But what are the necessities in life? That cup of coffee that we buy every morning? That shirt we bought on sale while walking past the shops at lunchtime? The brand new car we bought when our old car is still functioning? The large mansion we bought when in reality we only need a two room apartment? Alot of things we think are not affordable are not necessities.
Do complaints come about because of the excesses we have in society?

by complaining, we awknowledge what we lack in life, about what can be better. Only by idenitifying what is missing in our lives, we can strive to overcome/get rid of these negatives, if we dont even know whats wrong, how can we fix it?
maybe some people are just angry and they need to get stuff of their chest. After all not every1 is as forgiving as you greg, maybe its cause you have the majority of the things u listed(good job, $$$$, cofee, shirt) that you have begun to become insensitive to certain issues of life. that as you have so much already, you will not understand how others thing, as you are no longer in the same social class as them. but that is understandable, will a king ever understand how a beggar feels if he has been royalty from his birth to death. No he wont.
