Is weeping a frailty?
Who would've thought I would come up with something as debatable a topic as this one.
Shedding of tears can occur due to various reasons - from the simplest to the most complex. We tend to hide this "dent" (or chip) that resides in this Tungsten armor of ours called our ego. So is crying a frailty? A weakness? Does it undermine our robustness? Our credibility as toughened men and women?
Sure, the perception of "Why, women do that all the time! It's the men that should be worried about the 'C' word (read cry).." inhibits every stable person's cognition. Men are supposed to show no remorse, pain or any signs of wear-and-tear. He is the quintessential Rambo or Schwazzennegger (Darn! I still can't spell that name. I meant Arnold Schwarzenegger. Phew! A mouthful of a name).
Well, I sort of beg to differ. Yes, men are one of the cornerstones of a family, many at times the only bread-winner, one who carries forth the responsibilities of the household (though priorities are shifted from time to time in a family). He is looked upon as the head of the household. The one who is seen as figurehead.
Scientifically or physiologically, due to the chemical composition of emotional tears, some scientists have hypothesized that a function of crying is to rid the body of stress hormones. William H. Frey II, a biochemist at the University of Minnesota, proposed in his publication "Crying; The Mystery of Tears" that people feel better after crying due to the elimination of hormones associated with stress specifically adrenocorticotropic hormone. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crying_in_humans).
However, ultimately we see that crying is a facet of the human that cannot be stripped away from his/her being.
In the Bible, the portion John 11:35 has been remarked that this is the shortest verse in the Bible; but it is exceedingly important and tender. It shows the Lord Jesus as a friend, a tender friend, and evinces his character as a man. This verse simply states “Jesus wept.”
Certain people from all walks of life may shudder to show this emotion but no person can shy away from a teary eye. It is part and parcel that every human life is bestowed with along with its other emotions that you would consider trophies to flaunt about for example, anger.
So I state if your feelings well up, your eye feels like they need to burst out a dam, I say “let loose those tears for they will bring out some good”. It is a-okay to do so.
