Natural Eye Lubricant
We should be thankful for the tears for they served as a self-healing and self-cleansing components in our eyes that no eye-drop solution can compete.
Expression of Sorrow
One of the reasons why we cry or weep with great intense is the tragic events or the lost of loved ones. We also cry to show how much we are hurt when friends or relatives were also hurt due to heart-breaking experience or family problems. Sometimes we also cry when we realize the sufferings of the people we have hurt.
Tears of Joy
These tears are overflowing and spontaneous that one finds it difficult to hold back. This happens when we are overwhelmed or touched by memorable events that happen in our lives - be it in love, family, circle of friends, and promotion at work etcetera.
Men Do Not Cry
This is false. It all stemmed from the fact that many people find it embarrassing for men to cry and so as stronger genes they should hold it. Heart experts even warned people that this should not be practiced. In fact they even encourage people who get hurt, injured, troubled and weary to cry - let the feelings go. If necessary - shout or punch the wall to release your anger since keeping such emotions is not good for one's heart and may even develop complications later in your life.
Gentlemen, stop pretending that you do not cry only to prove your superiority over the women whom the society considers at the weaker and more sensitive gender. Remember that even the Lord Jesus Christ wept when he heard the news about the death of his friend Lazarus. Then Philippine's strongman, the late president Ferdinand Marcos was also in tears while leaving Malacanang Palace when he was deposed in the 80's. An army commander broke in tears when he saw hundreds of people in pain during the Gulf War. Men, releasing our repressed emotions are a natural and practical thing to do; crying is a valid emotional reaction and does not make as a lesser man.
False Tears
These tears are delivered by professional actors and actresses in movies, arts, stage plays and theaters. They would think of maybe sad situations in their lives that would easily burst them into tears. Others play the trick by applying onion juice into their eyes especially when the shoot is about to begin. In some situations, false tears may be found in the eyes of politicians during elections or maybe in the court room during arraignment or trial.
Pollution Gets in Your Eyes
Another reasons why we cry is when our eyes gets irritated caused by the smoke coming from vehicles and factories. Physicians even warned that cigarette smoking is not just harmful to our heart but more so to the eyes of people exposed to passive or second hand smoking.
True that tears may sometime reflect negative occurrences on the countenance of people; but on the other hand, it can also make one's face radiate with the deepest soul.
