You can gripe all you want, but it doesn't do any good

You can gripe all you want, but it doesn't do any good. In my 62 years of life, I have learned that all continual griping does is make the situation worse. At least, it makes the situation or problem appear worse then it actually is.

I don't remember my grandparent's griping continually. I do remember Grandpa griping when gas went up for $0.50 a gallon to $0.75. I think that's the only time I ever heard Grandpa gripe about anything.

As I said, griping only makes the situation appear worse. It also upsets the people in your life if you gripe on a continuous basis. I guess what I'm saying is pick the things you gripe about. In some situations, a complaint to management does more good then griping to someone who can't do anything about the problem.
