My girlfriends and I love to chit-chat. We 'vent' to one another about negativity in our life which includes relationships, the general public, fellow-drivers, TV personalities, among others. I am ashamed to admit that, but its all true. It actually made us feel better to vent and not be judged. Now

    People often feel better or relieved for all sorts of reasons, (Venting as an example.)
    but I think it's worth examining meditatively if that is enough of a justification to do it.
    I am sure you can come up with all sorts of situations where venting causes harm.

    Hey now ..no fair..I see a couple of posts down that the goal posts are being moved.

    Won't all this venting just create more negativity and venting for the future? Maybe other's judgement toward you have valid points? After all, our enemies are best at being honest with us?

    Good emporers have been corrupted and blinded by yes men in the past. So do you want to be Tang Tai Zong or Caligula?

    You probably will say Caligula cause he had fun right? lulz!
