You have most likely heard of theUniversal Law of Karma that claims "What goes around, comes around." Okay, great! But now let's say you totally buy into this idea of karma and you even take pride in how you live your life under this axiom. You choose to demonstrate integrity in your decisions and actions, and to show kindness and understanding instead of callousness, deceit, or other "ugly" behaviors and attitudes. But, naturally, you are human and you sometimes slip up and make mistakes. Well, that's okay too.
We all get tired and cranky, now and again, and aren't always as congenial as we should be when we communicate with others.
Have you ever displayed impatience or frustration with your spouse, friend, or family member for no apparent reason? This behavior is not uncommon. You probably wouldn't feel safe enough to let your guard down around just anyone.
But, the people who love us unconditionally have taught us that it is permissible to throw a temper tantrum in front of them from time to time, knowing full well that they won't hold it against us.
Venting Your Feelings in a Healthy Way is ok.
It is healthy to allow ourselves to step outside of our nice postures and exhibit the not-so-nice side of our personalities now and again. Having a sympathetic ear and soft shoulder to lean can be wonderfully reassuring.
It is especially nice to have someone who will validate our right to feel the way we do. We can return the favor when it becomes their turn to vent something from the darker sides of their natures.
Having an outlet for venting the emotional stuff can be a good thing, repressing resentments... not so good.
So vent, but in a healthy way.
