Language of Ruin and Consumption

On Lamenting and Complaining

4/5

Laments and complaints are among the most ancient poetical forms and ubiquitous in everyday speech.

Understanding plaintive language, however, is often prevented by the resentment and fear it evokes.

Lamenting and complaining seems pointless, irreconcilab.
