Golden tears
“We humans are the only animals that can cry", this statement may seem to be false but, “We humans are the only animals that can shed tears" , now that’s what something we can believe. And to be more precise … ‘can shed emotional tears’.
We express joy, anger, grief through our tears when either it is unbearable or it can cannot be expressed by mear words. Those tears that we can shed in front of anyone, I call them ‘Social tears’.
But sometimes,we are unable to express emotions in front of others and those tears which flow out without any permission, I call them ‘Secluded tears’. These tears are not just tears, but a jug of disgust, hatred towards world or maybe towards ourselves, anger, guilt which is so full that it has to be spilt off.
Thoughts like , “why me? Why JUST me?” keeps rolling in our head all day and night. We keep on thinking where things went wrong and when finally we get no answer what we do is CRY..
“The heart is frozen and the tears are the beginning of its melting"
Truly said by someone. Our heart gets too loaded to handle anymore and we cry out like there is no tomorrow.. Before actually crying we would have thought of crying a number of times but sometimes due to presence of someone around us we restrain and just stop the tears that are present on the brim of our eyes and are about to fall off. Such is the heaviness of our tears. People do see our tears but cannot understand our pain and that’s what we fear the most..
People who cry not necessarily want someone to give them compensatory statements like, “its okay, everything will be alright.” “please don’t cry, you are making me feel bad.” To be very honest , its all rubbish ! IT’S NEVER GONNA BE ALRIGHT FOR THEM OR ELSE THEY WON’T BE CRYING AT THEIR WORSE !
We need to understand that what such people want is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FROM YOU. But if you really care for them, show them.Sit besides them, give a gentle pat or just stay silent and only give your presence. If they hate it that you are watching them cry, turn around or get somewhere at distance from where you can see them. Trust me, no care is required more then this. We really cannot imagine what that person might be going through, and don’t try to hard to understand because you are you and he is he, no 2 people think alike all the time. Just support them and stand by them that’s the softest invisible handkerchief one can give to anyone to wipe their tears.
Lastly, if you ever feel like crying, just cry , don’t think too much , for, its just you who knows the weight of your tears … the tears that have become GOLDEN TEARS, just because you let your heart at ease by making them flow on your cheeks.
