"I fall upon the thorns of life. I bleed"! Seriously? AVOID THORNS. Wear protective covering. Carry bandaids with you. Why complain?

From "Ode to the West Wind" by Pecy Bysshe Shelly writtin in 1819.  Geez. I guess complaining is a human thing.

    What he means is we ALL are hurt by life and feel the effects of that hurt.  Whether we take precautions to protect ourselves or not.

    Complainers are a dime a dozen og. Whatever negative thing befalls them it is always someone else's fault of course. They never take any blame. There are danger signs and if you pay attention you can avoid some thorns. If you encounter them what good is complaining about it? Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move on. Everyone has problems. Some spend all their time complaining while others pay attention and don't get themselves into repeating the same pitfalls. It's just a matter of character, personality and temperament. We humans often encounter similar situations as we go through life. Some folks give you chapter and verse and a blow-by-blow account of how they were wronged. Others never say a word. They just suck it up and move on. Different strokes. Thank you for your reply.
