Complaining has real costs. It gets people embroiled in intractable political battles. It makes people feel like victims and not tale control of their destiny.

Complaining has real costs. It gets people embroiled in intractable political battles. It makes people feel like victims and not tale control of their destiny. Anyone who gets annoyed by the complaining potentially turns from an ally to an adversary when it comes time for a real solution. These costs may be worth paying when fighting for a tangible goal (e.g. abolition of slavery), but not worth it when the solution is still a ghost.
