Have you ever cried in your life? And do you know how long does it need for a drop of tear to fall down?
Yeah, perhaps you would think my question is quite easy, even a little foolish.
Everyone knows that only a moment could such a drop of slim tear fall down the face, right? However, this is not true in many cases, especially for the ones who
have already grown up. Sometimes, a drop of tear would have been brewing in our
minds for quite a long time, or even evaporated quietly, before it spilt out of
our eyes in the end.
A few days ago, a friend of mine parted company with her boy friend for some reasons. To our great surprise, she didn’t cry at all, but seemed to be so calmed
and optimistic, going on working and playing as usual, as if nothing had happened. We all think that she has taken the sadness off her mind.
However, on Christmas Eve, when we were praying in front of the burning candle together, she couldn’t help crying suddenly, with tears spurting out of her eyes
onrushingly, as if the water in the dam ruptured suddenly. I have never seen such a grieved sob before and was horrified by it greatly. After sobbing for quite
a long time, she admitted that she still loved her boy friend so much and couldn’t help missing him all the time. Until that moment, did we know that she has
been bearing her sob and forced a smile all along, in order not to be sympathized by others. She was crying in her mind all along, but never in front of us. As
a result, such a lot of tears were acuminated in her mind day by day, spurting out suddenly at this moment.
Sometimes, I would miss the baby period with nostalgic longing. At that time, we
could cry freely, at ant time and any place, just as we pleased. And always the
tears would bring us warm comfort and loving care. However, when we grow up gradually, we get used to contain our feelings and never cry or laugh loudly, as if
in the old saying, a camel without tear glands couldn’t find the exit to release his sentimentality.
Maybe many of you would think that it is useless for crying in front of people.
Everything still has to be undertaken by ourselves, no matter we cry or not. Right? But based on the latest research, it is not good for our health, if we depress our sensation or emotion in our minds for a long time. On the contrary, it is
necessary and good for all of us, no matter male or female, young or old, to cry freely as we like, so as to release our emotion and moisten our dried-up eyes.
At least, this proves that we have not become insensitive and still could feel
pain in our hearts.
Dear all friends here, maybe you are so strong or so perfect in your life. But when you meet with unhappy things or suffer frustration during your studies, work
or life, don’t hesitate to cry as you like. The moment when a drop of shinning
tear falls down your face, a brilliant future already stand in front of you. Do
you believe it?
Yours sincerely, feier-Melody
