Whining probably dates back to the creation of homo saps. Want an example of poetic whining?

"I fall upon the thorns of life. I bleed."

Written October 25, 1819. Poet? Percy Bysse Shelley.

How do you react to that line? With revulsion or pity?

I can't pity whiners. An obvious defect.

Is there a purpose or value to WHINING? Are we made better off for it? "Woe is me. Poor me. No one likes me. Everyone is out to get me."

I guess I just have a cold cold heart. I say you fall you bleed you get up tending to the wound and move on. QUIETLY. SILENTLY. Tough old dame.
