A Society of Chronic Complainers

One of the main flaws that adults find in "our generation" (that being the kids they raised) is that we complain about a lot about things with little to no importance. Some popular examples said by children that drive parents to the brink to dementia are "my tummy hurts" or "I'm hungry". Adults get frustrated by the fact that children rely 100% on their parents for comfort, so they get frustrated when kids can't cope with problems that they can, be that opening the fridge or swinging on the swing.
But what they don't notice is that they complain just as much as we do. Economy, politics, cars, anything. All humans like to complain because at the peak of their complaining, they feel a thrill of excitement because deep inside their innards are telling themselves "You just solved that problem by doing nothing except posting an annoying status update about your food being starchy on Facebook which your friends will all like and that will make you feel better because you feel like somebody supports you and cares for your problem and feels empathy towards you when in actuality they just feel sorry for you and find that you are a sorry loner that has nothing to do in life other that posting petty updates on Facebook".
But anyways, I'm getting off topic. What I was trying to get across is that even adults complain, and in copious amounts. The only difference between that and Jimmy over there hurting his knee is that adults don't have a superior to nag at them telling that they complain too much. I sometimes wish there was a magic person that electrocuted adults every time they are being hypocritical.
Another section of this topic that I would like to cover is the fact that complaining is a communal thing. Most animals (humans especially) are pack animals and function a lot better when in a group. And I can think of hundreds of times that my father invited some of his friends to do a BBQ and they would yell at each other between sips of beer about the high tax rates or why the current president is doing a terrible job. They don't really notice exactly how obnoxious and annoying they are because they're doing it in a communal setting. But for me, the 14 year old boy in the corner twiddling his thumbs it is definitely  a place I don't like to be in.
