Crib till it rips you apart!!

I'm sad and I'm cribbing for the current state of my life. The other day I was talking to my friend & he was cribbing about what life has given him. Its of the most common notion that we all go through when we are going through a tough phase or should I say cant handle the situation anymore!!Why is it that, when things start falling flat on their face, we start cribbing and dismissing them as the most horrible thing to ever have happened to us?
When the going gets tough most of resort to, the old age formula of cribbing and I'm no different.
Questions of all sort that are responsible for the current state of one's life, start making their presence felt. How-so-ever we might dislike people for cribbing, about their bosses not giving them an off, about how their parents would never understand that they have grown up to be on their own, about how their ex's were unfaithful to them and so-on and so-forth, the fact would remain that we are never content with what our past has given us, how our present is shaping up and what our future will hold (how can we be optimistic and look ahead to a happier life, when our past was a pain in the ass and the present is a pain in..ah whatever).
In spite of being surrounded by people who never fail at an opportunity to get envious of people succeeding at their workplace (mind you, I am not cribbing about people around me), I have always failed to understand that what is it that makes a person so bloody full of hatred for others. High time we get out of the mentality of the 'Grass being greener on the other side'. We all fail in exams, job interviews, meeting expectations, love..whatever..but the true essence of anything that comes after that failure cannot be surpassed had you got that thing in the very first place. And remember that 'It happens to the best of Us'. So what if you were lucky at the second go!!!
