What is good? pt. 1

Ranting is good. And I stick by that, even though 90% of google seems to be against me. Yes, there are a lot of bad aspects to moaning and ranting all the time. And yes, maybe sometimes it just doesn't help a situation. But moaning can also be one of the most stress relieving, funny and interesting problem solving activities ever to grace to human species. Here's why.

  • moaning identifies problems. 
  • Without problems being identified, I don't have a job as a designer.
  • Moaning helps us communicate
  • It helps us cope with our problems, it gets things off our chests.
  • "A problem shared, is a problem halved"
  • It helps us relieve the stress and tension of modern living.
  • Moaning helps us change things!


And the best thing I can think of to highlight some of these issues, is the 'Grr' advert created by Honda when they released their first diesel engine in 2004.






They also created this game, in which you are a bunny, changing all the things 
that piss you off into happy, smiley flowers and such like.
Play it here.
