Explaining Complaining

It’s easy to complain about
The things we cannot change
And those who don’t complain at all
I think are mighty strange.

Yet trying to improve our lot
Is often way too hard
So many just get stuck in gear,
The path to progress barred.

Not wanting to be viewed
As doing nothing, we maintain
That nothing really can be done
And therefore, we complain.

I know some of these "So many just get stuck in gear, The path to progress barred." and they refuse to get unstuck.
