Pain? Everybody has some. Nobody has the monopoly on it. Some people are overweight, some are too skinny, some have amputated limbs or didn't form something right. Relatives die, hey nobody gets out of life alive.
That being said, nothing pisses me off more than hearing someone bark about their problems and do absolutely nothing to try and change them. I have a friend who always can top (as described above) any problem you are ever having. No matter what day of the week it is, something is worse for him than anybody else. From him I have learned to quit bitching and start doing something.
Six months ago I had lower back pain constantly. What to do? Lose the beer gut and about 25 pounds. Pain is now gone. Stop eating shit food, and have a salad (and not five plates of salad). Easy? Not at all, I quit smoking and food was my last bad habit. But I did it and took care of my problem, since no one else was going to.
I realize everyone doesn't have problems that can go away, but those that do drive me absolutely nuts. I know a girl who is easily 150 pounds overweight. She can't sit in a normal chair, has all sorts of pain all over her body, but (and this is no exaggeration) there is never a 10 minute span that she isn't eating something, mostly cheetos and candy bars. To eat constantly and bitch about having to buy an extra seat on a plane, not be able to sit in a regular chair? How about a diet?
You will notice one thing in life if you are observant - most people who are born with or have no way to change their problems are the strongest ones who bitch the least. Kids who have MD, those that lost their parents at a young age, birth defects that keep a kid in a wheelchair from day one. You will rarely hear them whine about what a shitty hand life dealt them.
The folks who got fired from their high paying job for smoking pot or maybe lost their family because they weren't smart enough to quit drinking are the ones who will cry the loudest about how unfair things are. Go figure.
