I just finished watchin Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (for the nth time !) 
and the part I liked so much was when the Phoenix healed Harry's wound through the bird's tears. From there my thoughts jumped to an article I read about tears and water (after all, tears are water) which said that
God's greatest creation was the tears that fell from a woman's eyes. Lovely, isn't it?
Again, my thoughts jumped to another article I read which said that suicides are greater in men than in women and one of the reasons cited was that women cry and men don't.
Compassion and healing from water. Water really have healing powers and here I remembered the water therapy - or drinking 8 glasses of water a day.
Is there truth to this? What do you think?

I don't quite get your question as to what you really want do draw from your discussion but as I read it I came to think about the significance of water and the logic that you have created to it although can be confusing as to the connections. anyway, water is truly one of the greatest element that exist on earth and it's one reason why we are still existing since water is life. water can either heal or destroy. it depends on the circumstances. It is one thing that makes earth unique and bountiful. Oh by the way, I just wonder about your statement that God's greatest creation was the tears that fell from a woman's eyes?

Yes, I read this in an article a long time ago though sadly I cannot recall the author or where I read it from. But it stuck. But I think it has reference to its symbolic aspect. Tears falling from a woman's eyes that symbolizes compassion and emotion...traits that women are said to be strong on.
The connection that I was trying to convey is about water's symbolism--the healing power and emotions that we of the technological age need so much. I think this is the connection or disconnection?
Thanks for your response eil_noz!

Water is the most important thing to creatures,tears are make of water but they are not water because the tears contains one's emotions and that is why tears tears fell from women's eyes are god's greatest creations.Women's tears are beautiful while men's tears are valuable because men seldom show their weak side to others,if a man cry in front of you,that means he trust you.

Oooppss! But I see we agree that water is important and that tears on a woman's face is God's greatest creation...although someone else said this. I could not resist and I hope you would not mind my asking this about your last statement. Does it mean that women's tears are beautiful but not valuable and that men's tears are valuable but not beautiful?
Appreciate your response, auyuelin.
