Humans do like to complain, don’t we? It’s a part of us almost from the moment we’re born– babies cry to communicate, but what they’re communicating are complaints: I’m tired, I’m hungry, I’m wet. It must help us in some way to complain– on an emotional level for sure, but maybe on a biological level, as well.

Another word for complaining is venting. When you vent you release pressure. You let go of the things that otherwise might build up inside you until you either explode or implode. It’s not healthy to keep things in. Much as we think not complaining is a virtue, most (maybe all) of us need to, at least once in a while.

These days I find myself complaining a lot about the people in the world who destroy it for their own short-term gain. I’m not sure how we collectively decided to accept a few people taking control of every resource the Earth has, and doing whatever they want with it all. Even now some people are still pushing for the few to keep controlling and exploiting those resources, even though it’s at the expense of everyone else. It’s difficult not to complain about this.
