Tears are the most important part of a person’s emotional life; they not only alleviate suffering, but also preserve human life. Every time we cry, our eyes release tear crystals along with painful hormones that help repair damaged tissue and protect us from irritation. But, nevertheless, many people think that tears indicate weakness. With this fact comes the stereotype of tears as a means of expressing emotions that are considered wrong or incorrect.
Tears can come in different forms: a crying eye becomes red and swollen, tears run down the face, and a runny or stuffy nose may occur. Because these symptoms can be visible to others, people have come up with many cliches to describe emotions that include tears: “she's crying crocodile tears,” “she's crying,” “he's crying,” “tears,” etc. However, why does the human body cry? And is tearing an indicator of sincere emotions or is it just a deception?
When talking about true emotions, tears are a good indicator that a person is excited, scared, sad, grateful, or touched by something by their emotions. When tears act as a defensive reaction, they hide behind them emotions associated with powerlessness, hatred or inability to cope with certain situations. Such tears may also be a symptom of biological health problems. In any case, tears evoke a strong emotional response in people and often indicate to us the feelings of the soul: “when my tears accompany me throughout my journey through life, it means that I am either used to them or need them.”
In addition to why we need to cry, it is worth talking about those aspects of which we are often embarrassed. For example, on the faces of adults who cried like children, there remains an imprint of a quality that has become increasingly popular in recent years - the image of a strong-willed person who does not show his emotions. Perhaps this reason is caused by recent changes in modern life: the emergence of gadgets, computers, cars, automation of many processes and much more has strengthened our image of a strong spirit. Research shows that the consequences of this mindset on emotional restraint in the form of depression, anxiety and even depressive mood (for example, due to the inability to realize the dream of becoming strong like Lan Reynolds) are growing every day. A tearful person, especially an adult, has the right to happiness and strong emotions, and neglecting this right is dangerous.
