As my grandfather said "I can't complain. Even if I did, no one would listen." My view is it burdens other people, it's boring, trivial, sympathy-seeking, and dumps problems on others they can't do anything about. It's better to be graceful than whine because the risk of competitive grievance storytelling is without end or fruitful accomplishment. There are bigger ideas, existential threats, and excessive suffering in other parts of the world like famine and summary executions. I broke T-8, my nose, and had a one-part proximal humerus fracture. It wasn't anywhere close to a "10" on the pain scale, maybe a 3.5. E.D. kept trying to push opiates and adamantly refused. A genetic test claimed I have a reduced pain perception but not convinced yet.
