Ritual of Sharing Feelings
During the Ritual of Sharing Feelings, each member of a family unit shares how they felt during the day. Every household does this every single day. People may share positive feelings, negative feelings, or feelings they just want to let out. The nice thing about this ritual is that once someone shares a feeling, family members can suggest ways to relieve that feeling sometimes, just by discussing it.
The community's people believe that they are just sharing their utmost personal feelings within their family only. Since most people like to share their feelings with the ones they care about, this setup works out great. I think that the citizens of the community do not themselves know what the committee really performs that ritual for.
The real purpose for the Ritual of Sharing Feelings is one that only the committee knows. The point of the ritual is to keep control of people's thoughts, words, and actions. Especially, their thoughts on breaking any rules. Every time the ritual takes place, an unknown person listens, making sure that the conversation going on is harmless to the community. It doesn't seem like anyone but the family unit is a part of it, but there is. Now whether every family unit knows about this additional person is a very good question.
