Is crying a weakness?if you easily cry, does it mean that you are not strong and that you are weak?

No crying is not a sign of weakness and you are not a weak person if you cry...you are an emotional one.

NO, CRYING IS NOT A WEAKNESS IT WAS JUST A RELEASE OF EMOTION WHEN YOU ARE AT THE MIDST OF GREAT HAPPINESS AND SORROW.

Absolutely not. Crying is a release of emotion, and I think that people who don't cry are actually weaker than people who do. I feel empowered and relieved after a good cry, and unfortunately I tend to cry easily. If my daughter sings Amazing Grace. . . pass me the tissues. On the other hand, I think it builds character and compassion, and strength is intesnified due to the fact that usually when you cry easily you share an empathy with other people's sorrows.
