What is Complaining?
I am preparing for giving up complaining for Lent. But my question is: what is complaining? If someone steps outside and says "It is cold out today," is that complaining? Or would one have to say "I hate how cold it is"? Is simply describing a state (of being cold, tired, sore, etc.) complaining? Or would one have to be seeking sympathy/pity or expressing frustration for it to be complaining? I am not seeking the farthest limits of what I am allowed to do. Rather, preparing for this I have come to realize that I am not always sure when I am complaining. What do you think?

Complaining is saying stuff in order to make other people pity you...at least that's what I think. I don't actually think you complain all that much....but I guess we'll both find out in a few weeks!!! I complain too much.
