the funny thing about human nature is that people tend to be the most vocal about the shit that irritates them the most. Ironically when they are joyfully exuberant, they tend to share far less or regurgitate it for less time, but man, piss someone off and you will hear about it for years. (I still hear about the woes I foisted on my sister in highschool and next year will be my 25th reunion, but I wonder if she can remember the good times she had?) And why is that? Well, it's partially culture, people don't like braggarts and when someone is singing thier song of joy people tend to think that they are bragging about their happiness, so from the time we are very young we are discouraged from being too happy (personally, I blame the Puritians). But also, no matter what, it never seems to fail that when someone is having a glouriously marvelous time and they with to share their happiness they will stumble accross some curmudgeonly Eyeore that will make sure too haul their ass right back down to earth and shatter the baloon that they were riding high on. So yeah, it's human nature to bitch and moan, to whine and piss because it never does anyone any good to be too damned happy and the only way we can remain happy is to keep it to ourselves. Oh, and for what it's worth, sarcasm brings me happiness.
