All about complaining

Definitely Not The Opera's PODCAST has got me thinking again. This week it was all about complaining. I usually like to bite my tongue before voicing a complaint because I don't like to bother people. But I now realize that isn't always the best idea. After listening to the podcast I'm now reconsidering on where I stand.

It is fine to tell people how you feel. It's good to express your feelings. The last thing that you should do is bottle everything up. But I believe that complaints are only ok if they are focused on a positive resolution and not just solely on a negative problem.

Listen to the podcast and let me know what you think.

I agree that complaints should be saved for making positive change. One of my pet-peeves is people constantly complaining about the weather. It's something we can't change, and all that complaining is just going to make people feel lousy. I haven't had a chance to listen to the podcast yet, but after tomorrow's exam, I'll have all the time in the world!! :)
