Tears of the World: What Are You Crying For?
by Crying is a powerful way to release the emotions associated with the sadness that people come across in life.
I remember that someone once said:” When you can’t help the tears to flow out, then open your eyes widely but don’t blink your eyes, and let the tears flow naturally from both of your cheeks. Yes, the tears make you see the world clearly instead of blurring your mind. Tears generally paralyze the sad moments rapidly.”
Sometimes, we may want to forget some of the things, such as injuries, pain, agonies, and any unhappy events so that these unfortunate moments can be erased away from our memory. On the other hand, we would like to seize some of the things forever, such as a pleasure moment with a lover, a good feeling with a friend, a glory moment when receiving medal or any happy moments that indeed make people fascinated and touching. However, in reality, some of the unwanted things may keep storing in the heart that make people feel crazy, sick, pain and sad.
Tears melt away all those unhappy moments. In our life, tears acts like a lubricant that make us feel less burden and pressure. My dear friends, we should learn that some things can be forgotten; some keep storing in our mind, and thus use your tears wisely to relieve and comfort yourself. Do not let the numbness suppresses your feeling.
We are all surviving for tears as we have a feeling towards things. My dear friends, you should believe that in addition to love, tears can give you strength to soften your heart and get most problems solved.
The question here is , why people are crying then?
One cries due to its deep love towards life.
(A child infected with AIDS was crying at the orphanage located in the city of Nairobi, a capital of Kenya).
One cries because of the joy in life.
One cries to get a comfort.
One cries on behalf of the sad moment.
One cries because of the helpless in life.
One cries on behalf of her desire and dream.
One cries on behalf of the hopeless in life.
One cries due to her old age.
One cries in order to show her anger.
One cries on behalf of the condolences to the dead person.
One cries because of parting.
One cries in order to show her deep love towards her beloved person.
(The person in the picture was crying on behalf of their mother, who was accidentally killed in the explosion of the firecracker plant in the province of Guangdong, China.)
One cries because of the hardships of life.
(The rare drought made the farmers cried out badly.)
One cries to represent the scary experience of the war.
One cries to show his desire for peace, and he wants the war to stop from killing people.
One cries because of his ability to conquer himself.
(When the glass box floating in the air was placed on the ground, a magician, David Bryant, from America, who was trapped in the box for 44 days, crawled out from the box, and finally cried greatly out of joy.)
One cries because of the deep emotion towards his intimate bonds.
(A Korean man from North Korea was crying after parting with his brother in South Korea for over ten years.)
One cries to show his love towards his career.
(Pete Sampras, who was the star of United States Open Tennis, could not help crying in the ceremony that celebrated his retired life in Tennis.)
One cries because of the sudden disaster that struck his life.
(The sad event of 9.11 immersed the United States in weeping. All American shed tears on behalf of the victims.)
One cries because of the deep sibling relationship.
One cries because of her beauty.
One cries because of her loneliness.
One cries because she was blessing with an unbelievable success.
Finally, one cries because his deep dignity and sacrifice for the country.
(An army was deploring for the loss of his dear friends and companions.)
What type of crying are you doing?

Great article, Chan. Just one point here, I think the man in the glass box is David Blain and he hung in that box over the River Thames in London. It looks like him!

Good article. David Blaine volunteered to go into the box as part of the many challenges he had set for himself. At this point he was cold,lonely,hungry and emotional.
Thiery Henry, the French football player who plays for Arsenal football club in London was crying because despite his and his team’s efforts, they were knocked out of an important cup competition (can’t remember which one it was) so cute nevertheless.
