In which FHC writes for all the whiners out there

With my little housing search, I believe that I have reached the apex of my potential as a whiner.   Having dinner with a good friend of mine last night, I found myself able to say cute little sentences such as “you known between my recent divorce, the professional thingy and my housing situation, these are tough times for me”. I also look a little anemic and worn out these days which create a nice setting for my well rehearsed tirade on how miserable my life is. I feel that complaining about one’s situation is the most amiable of socializing forms: it makes everybody feel better about their own lives, calls for advice and kind words and create endless opportunities for vivid and warm conversations. Of course this only applies to whining for inconsequent things: one should never complain about disability, death, poverty or anything real of that kind because it could make his audience uncomfortable. One of the reasons of that paradigm is that actually real friends prefer to see you slightly unhappy because happy people don’t really need friends. Whining is basically underrated because it is commonly described as a selfish and meek way of expressing yourself while it actually is the kindest and most selfless way to engage your fellow human beings. The lies on whining are mostly spread by huge assh*les like Dale Carnegie and cult leaders and always in the name of positive thinking – this terrible disease which afflicts so many American households. Comedy, for instance, is just a disguised form of whining moreover when it is self-deprecating. What is more genuine than sharing your miseries with a stranger? I personally despise the people who never have anything to complain about: they always are suspicious and boring to me and either are vain weirdoes or unrealistic fools. They also are free riding on other people’s complaint to fuel their dinner conversation which is unacceptable and balance their tedious outlook on life. Nothing pretty has been created by positive thinkers, all creation is a complaint. My advice to you: trust the whiner above all because he has the courage to open up to you.

FHC: Isn't there something in your religion about the meek whiners inheriting the earth?

"trust the whiner above all because he has the courage to open up to you." Among all the funny nonsense you usually post, here's a thought on which I agree with you!

And me who always thought that Jesus would talk to me in Hebrew: 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

"trust the whiner above all because he has the courage to open up to you." Why do you think your devoted readers log in faithfully to absorb your bon mots?
