Tears are a mighty flow of liquid emotion, not
a sign of weakness. They are invoked by the
anger of injustice, the pain of hurt and the rush
of overflowing joy.
To cry, is too feel, for ourselves and for others.
Indifference throws up walls to hide what it
doesn't want to see. Compassion rains tears
to keep those walls from forming.
It takes strength to care.
When language doesn't offer deep enough
words to express our intimate emotions, tears
allow us to show them.
At our most basic level, we are all human, and
we are strong enough to cry.
