Oh the Joy of "Moaning"

I never liked optimists(maybe not). I just don't trust them. People who always see the positive only in everything cannot be human. And even if they are, they must be truly miserable as they deprive themselves of this marvelous opportunity to moan (yeaaaahaa). They also strike me as shallow, unable to see the bigger picture and question everything. And my god, you should question everything in life.

Often moaners are labeled as negative pessimistic people, who can’t enjoy life. This couldn’t be more wrong. As a misanthrope, I personally take great pleasure in complaining about all the stupid and annoying things/people I encounter every day. Not only I enjoy the process of it, it also creates the strongest bond possible when you hate the same things. Seriously, think about it, if two people enjoy the same things that’s nice to hang out, but when they are annoyed by the same situations they immediately become best friends and are inseparable. They can spend hours talking about things that do their heads in and feel perfectly happy. I truly believe that ultimately everyone is looking for a person they can share these beautiful moments of moaning with, because it is a real indicator that they are comfortable with each other.

Among other things questioning everything helps to manage your expectations. If there is one thing life and Tollywood cinema have taught me is that you should always expect the worst; it will never let you down. Then whenever you get a letter saying that you owe the government 3000 USD for no other reason than a complete lack of brain and rational thought from their side, you’ll just shrug, give a deep sigh of fatigue and deal with it. But if you are always joyous and bubbly, a situation like this would shock and anger you, you’d cry and wring your hands in a very theatrical manner. DARAAAMAA.

So being negative at times isn’t that bad after all, at least it prepares you for all the misfortunes of life. And those who see the bright side should stop shaming us for being ourselves.

Amen
