Why don't we complain when we get knocked over by the wind, but does complain when it's done by someone?

Answer 1

Because the person who knocks us over either does it with malicious intent, or pure clumsiness that can be prevented. Also, with the person, there is someone to yell at where as you can't yell at the wind.

Answer 2

The wind is not concerned with us personally. It blows where it will. It is, if you will have it, indifferent to us. When a person knocks us over it is either accidental (in which case an apology usually solves the problem), or deliberate, in which case the act is a calculated insult to us and that is what upsets us and makes us complain. It is very personal.

Answer 3

Because you can't change the wind's behavior.
At least through cussing it out...
You need to build a wall to divert the wind.

But that hasn't stopped people from
1) Cussing at the wind anyway.
2) Building walls to divert people.

Answer 4

The wind does not listen.

The person had a choice.

Answer 5

People push you to disrespect you and make you look week woman want their men to be strong, but it is odd because if the man goes to jail for defending her she just leaves. So fighting or no fighting she will be gone, defend my honur LOL what honor.

It is a social thing designed to make a person look like crap.

Answer 6

Wind doesn't have the ability to be considerate or to apologize. People should.

Answer 7

If someone knocks us down, it's an affront to our sensibilities and destroys our trust in humankind.

Answer 8

We can't get back at the wind, we can't do anyting to it to avenge ourselves, so it's no use getting mad at it. On the other hand, we can do something to people.

Answer 9

Wind is a lot harder to fight against, and doesn't know any better.

Answer 10

you gonna fight the wind? wanna stand there yelling at it looking like a moron?
