I suppose one aspect of getting older is that you start to have realizations that previously escaped you. You realize that people you care about can be mean, life isn't always fair, even pretty people poop (that was a big eye-opener for me, lemme tell ya...) and that yes, we're all going to die at some point in time.
My most recent realization is that people complain...about the same things...every single year. Snow, heat, bad drivers (notice it's always '[fill in the state] drivers' who are supposedly lacking in basic driving skills?), the return of students to college campuses, long lines at stores during holiday shopping season, the list goes on...
People...winter arrives and with it comes snow. These days we get less snow than folks did 50 years ago, so there's really nothing to complain about. Get over it. Summer is hot. You likely drive just as poorly, if not worse than the person you're complaining about. Colleges are not supposed to be vast empty spaces of land for your personal enjoyment; they are institutes of higher learning and students belong there. Deal with it. Xmas lines? Shop online.
Am I being too complainy?
