Something kind of funny when you think about it.

People love to complain. Having a little bitch out about what ails you feels good for most people. Little bit of stress release.

But suddenly, complain to somebody else about your woes and you're satan. Or, even better, it becomes a sort of passive aggressive dick waving contest. Ever notice how most people have a one up card to say when you complain about something?

"My legs hurt today.avi"

"You should try having a metal plate and bolts put into one.avi"

People are funny.

I think it's self service. You don't actually care about how the words will affect the other person as much as you want to make a retort, or a remark so that you'll reach some sort of mental closure.

Self centered creatures, we are.

But I suppose merely shrugging or saying nothing in return is worse. Reacting to somebody in pain or discomfort, depending, can be difficult. So we pull out a one up card as close as we can relate to them.

Makes sense to me.
