TEARS DON'T CRY

When you pray and want god to listen and help you considering you his special child, you allow tears to flow softly. When your child performs first time on the stage in his school function, you don’t want to hold tears. When you buy something that you always wanted to, with your own money, you want tears to flow as a sign of happiness and pride.

Tears make you stronger and not weak.

Seen many people who don't want to cry – “I don’t cry in any circumstances.” It's against their dignity and they consider crying a sign of weakness.

Tears don't cry, it is phenomenon to reflect emotions. Tears are those innocent droplets of water who when flow out of the most beautiful creation of god, the eyes, give you relief, make your heart lighter and you feel relaxed. 

When a child is born, the doctors make the child cry to ensure the child is normal. And when someone leaves for the heavenly adobe, the very same tears wish the person a peaceful journey. 

I do not understand why people hate to cry. They may hate to smile as well.

Some tears are mischievous too. Specially, when the tears have a hidden motive and such tears are generally found in children. Or should I say mischievous children.

As a child we used tears as the biggest weapon to get away from scolding. Few tears were enough to melt the hearts of teachers and parents. By doing so, the anger used to immediately convert into sympathy. The worst mistakes were excused just with mere flow of few tears. Genuine or not, tears worked wonders.

It's not that only female use it as weapon, even we male are quite versed with the emotional strength of tears. The difference is when a man sheds tears, it is judged more on scientific grounds - how tears are formed and how they come out of tear glands. But, genuinely, when a female allows tears to flow from eyes, you feel guilty of making her cry. Even if the fault is not yours, you tend to apologize.

On a serious note, most of the time fall of tears make you feel genuine. They are antidepressant. Tears are those multi-vitamins that work without any side-effects. They are the most visible depiction of emotions, after a tight hug, that need no words.

When you are extremely happy and enjoy the surroundings, you tend to become emotional. When you are missing someone badly and do not know how to handle the situation, you want to cry to bring in control to your emotions. When life isn't going the way you want, to console yourself and relieve yourself from that pain, the best antidote is to cry. When you are not able to express your anger and control tough emotions, you only become normal when you cry.

Tears make you a normal human being, rather a living being. So why hesitate to cry. 

One day I saw a tear resting on my cheeks. I decided to speak to him - "hey, you come out without prior notice or intimation, don't you feel un-welcomed sometimes. Specially, when people say, why am I crying. I know many who suppress you, make sure you don't flow on your own. Hey buddy, make sure no one sees you when you drop. They people wipe you off before falling and few even pose you not there, how do you feel."

The tear smiled and said, "those you control me do not know they are being abnormal. I am made to give relief and cheers to a human body, rather any living being. Yes, my absence can be uncomfortable. Haven't you heard of tears being dried. If I shut my doors and I don't come out, it might debar you of expressing any emotions of yours. You won’t be able to express anything emotionally. It might even harm your eyes. Ultimately, it's the people who cry - tears don't cry."

I had no words. It was an emotional moment for me because I never held my tears back and allowed them to fall. I was proud to be a normal person. I am alive. 

And this feeling was so emotional that I allowed few tears to flow from my eyes. I felt good and relaxed.

During our good days and bad days, to set the emotions in right spirit and to feel better, let tears help you out. You may not necessarily show these emotions in public, but who stops you to mix your tears with shower when you take bath.

When life takes you to a roller coaster ride and when nothing is working and when you feel the things are beyond your control; take out your car, go for a drive, speak to yourself and let the tears cry and take away that feeling of being suppressed and helplessness out of you. 

While I was writing this article, I could again see the same tear sitting comfortably on my cheek and smiling – “hey, don't worry good days are just hours ahead. You would need me again to mix with your happiness this time.”
