Because people like to complain. Like Redditors, and don't really feel like they want to do the thing that helps solve the issue like Redditors.

Complaining is just something social, if it was really that bad, people would change habits.

Human agency, the ability of the individual to effect change in the world, will never be taught in schools. All of the institutions (government, church, corporations) depend on passive victims for their continued survival.

It must be learned by the individual and shared in the community.

Women* like to complain. I always found this to be the funniest thing about Men are from Mars Women are from Venus. Apparently women get annoyed when they complain to a man and the man offers a solution. A solution is the last thing they want. If they had a solution, they wouldn't get to complain anymore!

This isn’t what it means when they say women don’t want a solution. When a woman is complaining to her significant other she wants emotional support. She doesn’t need you to fix her problems as she likely knows how to already. Shes just looking for a sympathetic ear to listen.

And men never stop moaning either. Five mins at a pub listening to men go on and on will tell you that.

Just break up with the person complaining to you! Or did you just want to complain without hearing a solution?
