I have a hole in my stomach...

This thing needs an update. I don't really have anything to say though...let's see.

Complaining. What do you think of it? For example, I have wanted to complain about the pain I have had to go through after surgery, but really, should I? There's always the "what about the kids starving in Africa?" thing... Why should I be complaining when I have a roof over my head, people who love and care for me, and food at the table every day?
But then there's another voice, that says it is okay, because although there's always people much worse off than me, there's also many, many people who have never and will never have to go through as much as I've been through (which, admittedly, can't be much in the big scheme of things).

I don't want to make this long, so I'll leave it at that. What do you think?

I think that it's alright to complain. Sometimes you need to just let some things out. I know for me it makes me feel so much better when I let everything out. Get it off my chest. Sometimes I hope that I don't complain to much and if I do I'm sorry, I don't mean to. But then on the other hand there are the people that just seem down all the time like there's nothing positive in their life. That's when it taken a bit too far. I have met some people that have nothing at all but what they need to get by and they are some of the most noncomplaining(can't think of a word for it right now. Maybe optamsic) people that I have met. Alice I think you have the right to complain about the pain. I bet it hurts a lot and if no one else thinks that then come find me and I'll listen. I hope you're feeling better :)

I don't like people who whine and complain about something just to get attention. They try to make things sound like a big deal when they're just not.

But I agree with Lizzy. Sometimes you just have to. Get things off your chest. And there are definitely times when people have the right to complain.
