the way i see it:

People just love to hate.

Get any group of people together and before long they’ll find some negative commonality between them. Even those things they love and couldn’t live without (i.e. coffee), they’ll find something to hate. Perhaps it because the more we love, and grow particular of something, the more often we are dissatisfied with some aspect of that very thing that we depend on.

Take any big name company. Wal-Mart. Starbucks. McDonalds. Google anyone of them and it’s pretty easy to find someone hating. Yet we all still walk in their doors and buy their products without any hesitation. While we sit around and bash Wal-Mart, complain about the wait at Starbucks, and how unhealthy McDonalds is for us; they in turn are still the top in there markets and still growing.

I think that complaining has become apart of our attitude. We whine merely out of habit. So next time you’re standing in line, and a complaint arises, stop, and think of something positive to say instead. We all understand your beef with Wal-Mart. And yes, the line is long; we’re standing in it too. And McDonalds probably shouldn’t be consumed on a daily basis, try the Pita-Pit once in a while its right next door, you’ll feel better about yourself.

Good point about our desire to hate "something". I couldn't agree more about being positive in light of this worlds growing drive to be negative.
Keep up the good writing!
