Is it normal for a man to cry?

WATARIKENJI @WATARIKENJI (1534) • Philippines 20 Jul 08

I cried when my cousin and best buddy died a week ago. I tried to contain it but tears just kept running down on my face. The will of not to cry was lost and drowned by emotion.

saludes yes, there's nothing wrong with that, it does'nt mean that if a man cries, he is a gay or coward, god gave tears to shed out all the overwhelming emotions we have inside be it loneliness or happiness, crying is one way of declogging one's heart.

Is there an endless love between humans?

WATARIKENJI @WATARIKENJI (1534) • Philippines 20 Jun 08

For me the only endless love is between man and God. Man is capable only of conditional love. God is teaching us the kind of love he has for us. If we would only learn that love,then heaven will come down to earth.

endless love

5 responses

saludes y not,there are many stories about endless love bet humans, and god created us to love one another, maybe the love we have for god is a different level from loving humans.and it's a great thing if we can experience both kind of love.
