The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears.

Many people are raised to think it is a sign of weakness mainly men. Furthermore, sometimes society makes crying a sign of weakness too. On the other hand, I think if you think it is weakness you have no heart and no emotion. Emotion is the ultimate form of character. If you have no emotion, you have no personality or at least it is a cold one. I would definitely say crying is a sign of strength considering the way people think these days.

Actually, I agree with you. It's nothing but a waste of time. Boys and men should take it like men and grin and bear it anyway.

I don't think it is weakness, but I often feel that when I cry in front of people I look weaker, I can't stand looking weak. that probably sounds weird coming from a girl, but I can't even cry in front of my friends.

If we didn't, there'd be nothing to wash away our sorrows. Yes, that includes men too. Tears releases the deepest part of our souls to create life all over again....that's what I believe. :)

of course not, in contrast you are brave if you cry since you can show your frustrations.

No, it is not a weakness to cry. It is one way of expressing our emotions, and releasing the pain what we feel inside. Haven't you noticed? After we cry, caused by emotional burden, we do feel ok. Yes, the problem is still not resolved but you let the bad feeling come out.

I agree with you. Crying is not a weakness at all - I cry and i am proud to admit it even if some unevolved males may think i am crazy or week. I can cry, and i can fight as well, courage does not mean to have no fear, but to be able to over come your fears.

i don't believe that it is a weakness to cry rather i believe crying lightens your heart if there is something because of which i am hurt or if i had to let go something which i want in my life then i feel its only crying that lightens my heart and gives me the strength to let go unless and until i cry the sadness doesn't disappear and as it is said time heals everything so does crying

I believe there`s no point in crying... life`s to great to wash it with tears... I always try to put a smile on my face wherever I go... doesn`t matter what happens... So... keep smiling...!!!

That is a great quote/saying! I think it takes true strength to release your raw emotions. Some people cry when they are extremely happy, as well as sad. Crying has been known as a way to let your soul sing and release emotional stress.

No....it actually helps. It gets out all the emotions that you have had bottled up inside. I am a very emotional person. However...a lot of men think it is weak to cry...but I think just the opposite....

Crying is good and one's gender doesn't matter here. Though it's one thing to say and another to accept.

one must cry but when alone only. u must never cry in public or even infront of a single person. that weakens u r personality. its alwys better to avoid crying.

I don't think it's a weakness. I think it shows emotion and some people don't like to show their emotional side so they avoid crying.
