What happens when we express negativity in a group setting?

Expressing negativity in a group only sows discord; unburden yourself privately, then return to the community with a spirit of understanding and joy.

— Osho
According to Osho, dumping repressed opinions or resentment into the commune turns into wasted energy: it disturbs harmony, fuels scapegoating, and distracts from the real work of joyful coordination. Unburden yourself privately—go shout in the mountains—then return clean. In the group, relate with understanding and support; let coordinators simply link needs and responsibilities so the community remains healthy, efficient, and rejoicing.

Let out your bad feelings alone, not in the group, because dumping them there makes everyone tired and upset.
