Who is allowed to complain?
)
September 18th, 2011
I don’t mean legally; of course everybody (in America) is allowed to complain due to freedom of speech.
What I mean is, in your brain, who do you think has a “right” to complain?
Some people don’t tolerate it at all; no bellyaching, they say.
Others might say, oh, it’s only natural that Jim would complain here and there, his wife just died a month ago and now his kid is estranged from him. Poor Jim. But Barbara has no business complaining just because her boss is a jerk, hell, she’s lucky just to have a job!
What I’m getting at, is how bad does someone’s situation have to be before you think their complaining about it is justified?
Is it related to how good your life is at a given time? Do you tolerate complaining from people who are worse off than you more than you tolerate it from people who are better off?
