Draw the Line

I complain. A lot. Maybe not to peoples faces, that's not my thing. But in my head and too my friends, even in my blogs. I sit down at my computer and try to think of what I want to blog about and the only thing i can ever come up with is something that i think is stupid or wrong, and complain about it. I've been told I'm just making a point, but where's the line? Where is that thin line that everyone treads, that separates making a point and just complaining because you can.

I know why i complain, that is the easy part. What I don't understand is why i don't just find a better way to put it down in words. It seems the only way I can make a point is to bitch to the world on how much of a screw up we all are. I don't even like the sound of it. But this is just another problem what if i haven't crossed that line yet? What if I'm just being way over-conscience of what I'm writing cause I'm too hard of a critic on myself. But if I'm to hard of a critic on myself then I'm probably too hard of a critic to the rest of the world.

I guess this is my point. If i can't look at what I've said and wrote so far and know if it was complaining or making a decent point, then is what I'm writing even worth it. Am I even expressing my thoughts out there or are they being covered up by my inability to recognize if it's gone to far? Is everything I'm saying being taken to far or am I to worried about complaining that I don't realize I've never crossed that line? I don't know. I Honestly Don't.

The one thing I'm looking for, now that i think about it, is the middle ground. I think I need to find that line and tread it like I own it. We as people need to find the middle ground of the extremes and walk it. Because when we just sit on one side we never really realize what it's like on the other side, we are blinded by our own stupidity. AHH, see i complain again. The one thing I ask you out of this blog is "Where is that line, when do you cross over to complaining
from making a point, and have i crossed it or am i just paranoid?"
