People complain, that's the way things have been forever. Back from the stone age to now, everyone complained about something. I think it is the level and type of complaint that is interesting. A lot of these heating complaint or traffic problems are first world problems that those in the third world would like to have instead. There are people dying of hunger, facing flooding, having no home, and they complain about those.
I have seen people get better in life and their complaints changed as their lifestyle improved too. On the other end of the spectrum, I would think those in Ukraine had trivial complaints too before the war, but now, they probably have pressing concerns like their safety, their food, and other things.
So I'm not really against those complaints you mentioned above. I'm also not going to tell them to harden the fuck up. People complain all the time and it is based on their current predicament. I'm actually happy for them that that is their biggest concern. If they are put in the same situation as Ukraine, they will harden the fuck up. But for now, I want them to enjoy their peaceful lives, with their biggest problem being too lazy to go to work and the heating.
The complains are all relative to experience, aren't they? Experience conditions us and when we live our lives being fed experience, consuming what we don't directly experience, we lose perspective.
Exactly. Except, I am not sure they will harden up until they are in terrible conditions. and it is being weak that will lead them there.
It is a cycle.
