Is Crying For The Weak?

Well, actually no. It isn’t. Read it twice and two more times again.

Ever wondered why the doctor gently hits the rear of a new born child? What happens next? It cries doesn’t it? It helps it breathe. Crying is indeed natural and a way to vent out everything that burdens your heart and clutters your mind. It lightens the burden on your heart. You realise you are a human and by that you realise you have feelings.

When people don’t vent it out, they lash it on others hampering many things. Tell me how can such a person be strong? Strength resonates with love, courage, etc. How will you know hurt when you haven’t been through it?

And how will you then know what happiness is?

Crying is the heart’s way to show that you are becoming stronger. Even the Prophets have cried and so have world leaders. It takes lot more than guts to accept our feelings. To feel the pain, the fall, the rise, the end.

That yes, I am strong enough to cry and accept my emotions instead of lying to my own soul. That yes, I am becoming stronger and if something hurts me, I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen to anybody else. That yes, I am a human and my biggest strength is in being me.

‘Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before—more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.’ –Charles Dickens from Great Expectations.

So don’t worry. It’s good for health, not the first time, you aren’t the only one and it’s doctor’s recommended.
