Let's cry

Let's cry cause saving our tears for another day doesn't really help. Not clickbaiting but this is something I have realised very late over the course of time and I don't want you to do that. So let's go back to the Nearthethal day's One thing that they knew very well apart from being excellent at survival was compassion, one of the strongest emotions, and it was not superficial but they had a deep rooted sense of compassion. And just so you know they existed 40,000-50,000 years ago. The noticeable fact is that way before we came into existence, emotions were there. Our ancestors not only felt emotions but displayed them too. The questionable thing is that what exactly happened in all those years in between is that now modern homo sapiens are trying their best to not be human, not feel things, not to let their emotions out and just be a primate. 

And if we talk about crying, oh lord so many opinions are gonna hold up, though I'm not disrespecting yours perhaps have you ever thought about the significance of tears?if Yes, good and if not, then let me put forward what I came up with. 

Have you ever seen a newborn being birthed? I haven't too but here's what science says. You see in the womb, the baby doesn't exactly respire like we do. Now if you're shocked let me shock you even more. The first time a child respires is when they cry for the first time after birth. Amazed? I was too. That first cry is what makes that baby alive, human. Now think about it, your entry in this world is not welcomed by a choir of laughter or a full grin. It is welcomed with a strangled cry that comes from the back of your throat. Then tell me why do we hold ourselves back when we think that we're gonna cry, Why do we hold back that river convincing ourselves that it's something we should not do, why do we exile the need of it when it's something that comes naturally, humanly to us in a pure virtue, perhaps it's to show us that we are strong, right? Time to break that myth.

Now the opinions are going highway saying that tears make us weak, fragile, vulnerable and guess what? You're correct. Because making us vulnerable is the whole point. The moment we cry, we are nothing but full of raw human-ness. We as being are most naturally, emotionally available at that time and that makes us humble. It lets us know ourselves beneath all the layers and guards we have built around us throughout life. And I must say that those guards are necessary, but they are there for other people, not for you. Not for you to become a stranger in front of yourself. Because if you did then you have destroyed the only safe place you had and that's you. To be able to be there with yourself without guards and walls, to be able to see who you are at the most vulnerable, naked and raw state is the most intimate thing you could do for yourself.

 And secondly, if crying made us weak then I don't think we'd be alive, yes? Think about it, something that makes us alive, how can it ever make you an ounce weak. And since we are breaking myths today, allow me to break another one. The word weak is a subjective and a comparative term which means that it's up to you how you define weakness and since you have your own definition of it, one can be as strong or weak depending on how you want them to be. And the same concept work with strength. 

The bitter reality of today is that, if you keep up with your daily escapism there will surely be a time that'll come where you will be so pent up and overwhelmed by everything and at that time where you just want to cry, believe me you won't be to shed a single tear. You'll be trying so hard to just let it all out, but you won't be able to. And this certainly not because of a medical condition but because that action will feel so foreign to you that it will become hard to see it's significance beyond your needs of that moment. 

So people go to nearest mirror and look into your eyes and shed a few tears because we know that saving our tears is not gonna help. 

Loads of strength
