I will not argue with that. But...

I find that the public expression of certain emotions might be harmful to
people.
I come from a society where happy feelings were shared but sad ones or grief
were kept to yourself (close friends and family excepted). Not only do I not
understand the demand for "closure" but I am sure that in the majority of cases
it is harmful to brood on the bad things that have happened. Of course there are
exceptions and not everyone is the same. But it does not seem healthy to me.
