QUOTE(Black Hand @ Sep 17 2013, 02:37 PM) Hmmmm. I'd like to share something, and hope it is not misinterpreted.
Venting and the like *is* good in a particular sense. Then again, it can also be bad, if the goal is not to become positive, or in better spirits.
This is where I get all technical and pseudo-scientific with words like neuroplasticity and thought shaping, et cetera.
Basically, emotions can be made to serve, if we control them, and do not let them control us. On a most basic level, emotions are reactions to the stimulus of the environment. Having food and being in a secure environment makes us content and secure and the like. Not being as such makes us the opposite.
However, it is human nature to hold on to the negativity and let that become our long-term perspective and can create resentment to even the most basic of our needs being met. THe brain adapts and we begin to lose that positive reaction we once got to things as simple as just having enough money for rent this month and food in our fridge.
Being negative about things raises passion, an alternate form of excitement. Being angry over various things can actually be positive if we're being mistreated and the like and we react in a constructive manner. It is not when we mistake it for a correct reaction to common, everyday occurrences.
We really do tend to become what we think. If you spend the entire day thinking about how bad things are, they probably will become as such. The opposite is also true. In that same scenario, if only one bad thing happened that day, the positive-minded would see it simply as a thing that has happened and not let it ruin the entirety of their day, whereas the negative-minded would view it as a justification for their perspective that the day was a bad one.
It is sort of the half-full/half-empty argument, which again, may seem to be a cliche on the surface, but how often do acknowledge this basic simple truth? How often do we take a moment and be grateful for all the positive things in life?
Thanks for your time, and I hope y'all have a great day.
True my friend....

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed. I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”

King Arthur: I am your king. Peasant Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you. King Arthur: You don't vote for kings. Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then? [Angelic music plays... ] King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king. Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Arthur: Be quiet! Dennis the Peasant: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you! Arthur: [grabs Dennis] Shut up! Will you shut up?! Dennis: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system! Arthur: [shakes Dennis] Shut up! Dennis: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm being repressed! Arthur: Bloody Peasant! Dennis: Ooh, what a giveaway!
