We were watching a non time show here at home. The show have guests contestants who are vendors in the street and they got to share their lives on TV. This one contestant shared that he has no ability to have children with his wife because of his disease. The audience began to cry because of the moment the story had made and I glanced to my mom and she was also crying...
Do you cry over shows or movies while you are watching one?

Nope, i dont really know why i dont cry on dramas, even if its really touching or it can relate to me, its really rare for me, even a teary eye.

I usually don't cry over things like that. I don't think I've ever cried over a tv show at all, but movies are a different story. There are certain movies that will strike a chord and I'll just start crying a lot! Usually it only happens around "that time of month", though...hehe. Titanic was one that really made me cry at the end. The most recent one was Time Traveler's Wife, which I watched this week. It was so very sad that I couldn't help but cry!
I think it's good that people are able to cry for others, only so long as they do it for the right reason. I think it's ok to cry when you see that someone's house has caught fire or something bad has happened to someone or a natural disaster has occurred. It's good to be able to have that empathy with the world you live in and the people around you. That's the sort of thing that drives people to act and help others and I think it's important that we all have that (not necessarily to the point where you cry, but where you feel you should help out).
