Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. ~Charles Dickens, Great Expectations, 1860
I always considered it a weakness. Because i had enough moments when i needed to cry in public, but my education didn't allow me, i ended up feeling even worse when i was all alone in my room. I recently learned though, that crying can be a sign of how strong someone really is. It is a sign that i shouldn't care about what people say. It is just a natural feeling and we've all been there at least once or twice in our lives.
What is so bad about it to begin with? Maybe just like Kurt Vonnegut said, we should prefer smiling above crying since there is less cleaning to do afterwards.
Since i realized what a feeling this is, i began to wonder: why would others dare judge? It is not like life is pink and above all, even God is crying! Have you been outside the last time it rained? That was the sky releasing its emotions! Silver drops bigger or smaller stand for every feeling. have you ever felt like the weather outside is the mirror of your feelings? That is because Nature is resonating with you!
What keeps us apart from robots or any other entity with no soul is...just the soul. That is what makes us different! We are all equal under the same sky, but if we would all be the same then world would be the most boring place.
I am not saying that we should all become one, or that we should accept everything, but basic feelings are in all of us.
What would make me special if i release my feelings when i feel like? Well i would be special because most of the ones around me are hiding it. I am who i am and i learn to change. Just because there are some people out there who forgot that we all start as a seed and end in the same ground, it doesn't mean that i will consider myself inferior or less. it just means that they went astray from their road.
In life being unique is what makes us stand out from the crowd. It is what gives us color in a black and white world full of a large mass of Homo Sapiens.
Be yourselves and if someone won't like you the way you are, then remind to the others that they can look somewhere else !
Dedicated to Mária!
Be strong and cherish who you are because you live for yourself!
