CRYING IS IMPORTANT

Many people perceive crying as weakness. In fact we Indians say that boys don’t cry and if you are a boy and you are seen crying then your character is questioned and you are judged for lifetime.

Apparently, this is a big mistake because confronting your emotions gives a lot of strength even though it’s a type of vulnerability.

If you feel like crying then don’t hold back because:

       1) Crying cleanses your eyes- tears lubricate your eyeball and eyelid which helps to see well.

       2) Crying fights cold- tears helps to fight disease causing pathogens.

       

 3) Emotional tears eliminates toxins

These are some scientific reasons stating the importance of shedding tears.

But what I think is that crying is amazing.

I think we underestimate the power of producing tears.

             We are told that emotionally strong people don’t cry. But in my opinion emotionally strong means to know how to deal with things and when you deal with things your body start to react and that’s absolutely normal. And in order to avoid crying people start to avoid dealing with things since they are afraid of crying and of expressing their emotions and they gradually end up resulting in throwing all these things back in their head. But I think avoiding crying is cowardice.

Do you know how therapeutic it is to cry your feelings out?

I cry when I’m angry.

If I’m proud then I cry.

If I am sad I cry.

I am very emotionally active and I don’t feel bad about it.

We are humans and we are designed with feelings and the ability to address those feelings.

I think crying is equally important as urinating. You can’t hold back urine?

Right?

In the same way let yours tears shed.

Please talk about your feelings. Please feel okay with your body wanting to react a certain way.

If you are afraid or embarrassed of crying in front of others then come home and sit in front of mirror and talk to yourself.

Just come to terms with your problems and try to address what you feel.
