...First question, are tears a sign of weakness or strength? I've heard some people say it's drop dead sign of weakness,while some say it takes strength to cry. We all have different views on why we cry, but the question is are tears really necessary to express, subside and endure pain? isn't there a way to go through life with pain but not tears? Nobody can stand up and claim that a tear hasn't rolled down their cheeks before, everybody has had a reason to cry. What makes us cry? it could be a result of a heartbreak, financial crisis, loss of a loved one, bad grades, joy etc. When we go through these things some of us take it upon ourselves to cry, some see it as a way to ease the pain. on the other hand we have the hardcore people that hardly shed tears or so they claim. These folks see tears as a sign of weakness and a total waste of time. so are these folks stronger than us who actually cry? my answer is NO!.... it's not like they don't want to cry, they actually want to but most of them think it makes them weak, which is very false. We are dead without tears, when i cry it reminds me that I'm human, it doesn't take away the pain but it helps me endure it. we don't look stupid or weak when we cry, we look human, it shows we are not robots, it shows we have soul and passion. so don't be afraid to let out those tears that want to fall, I'm not saying you should cry in public, but if you're ever alone and in pain and you feel the need let those tears run down your cheeks, please let it cuz you are human.
