Complaining is good for the soul. It acts as a relief valve to help dispel the pent-up energy generated by our frustration. If we weren't able to complain, we would no doubt exhibit more physical violence and engage more frequently in destructive behaviour.
Our neighbours outrage us, our children mock us, strangers insult us, government agencies mistreat us, unscrupulous entrepreneurs victimize us, and even inanimate objects conspire to screw up our lives. It's enough to make someone paranoid! This book demonstrates that misery loves company, and that we are the company misery loves.
