Yes, i seemed to expose a lot to my coursemate lately. Haha. Crying. Yes! Tears dropping down with big red nose. I was born a Libran, and with a very sensitive heart. My mom told me that I did not cry at my birth but fulfilled that quota in the coming years. 🙂 But then I was the silent crying type. I would not cry for toys or anything materialistic. It was general anger directed at my parents but mostly no one in particular. Looking back I don’t know why I cried for. I would cry when I received a trashing, I would cry when things did not fall in place. When I was in secondary school, there was no more crying. Perhaps, I was very happy and comfortable during that period.
I know the society seemed to label crying as weak and only for girls. (Sorry to say this, i’m not a sexist by the way). We were brainwashed with this old adage of its not considered macho for men to cry. Men don’t cry. Its alright for girls to cry but then men just cannot cry. Nah! I look macho when i cry!! Hahaha. For me, it’s silly if a boy/man to think that he should’nt cry just because the society will look down on them! For God sake, even Buddha cry when he saw all the sufferings, does he ever concern about his machoness?? It takes a man, a brave man to cry because only silly boys with naive thoughts would take crying as weak and exclusively feminine!
Tears don’t need any reason to flow. And by the way, why should i care how people look at me when my tears are genuine and came from the heart, right?
