Why Cant Men Cry. Read Count : 146

I sat on the sofa with tears streaming down my face as I watched a movie that made me nostalgic and very emotional.After some moments of crying I felt better.It was like a heavy weight was lifted off my chest.I felt my spirits were renewed and I was feeling fresh again..

Then a thought crossed my mind that why is crying considered a sign of weakness when it can be so therapeutic.The outlet of emotions makes us more human isn't it?.Then why are men expected to refrain from shedding tears or else they would be considered weak.or effeminate.

We bring up our boys to be strong to handle every situation but also teach them that being  masculine means to  stay in control of their emotions.As a result of this men keep their emotions,frustrations and anger inside which then comes out in the form of violence.Ironically being physically abusive is a sign of power and crying is a sign of weakness.We unknowingly try to make them strong robots and then complain of them being insensitive.Why does displaying love make him romantic and shedding tears make him fragile.

It is even scientifically proved that shedding emotional tears releases oxytocin and endorphins uplfting our moods and making us feel better about the situation.

So it is okay to have a melt down once in a while.Pent up emotions will lead to frustration turning u into a boiler ready to explode.

So guys,cry when your heart is full of sadness coz shedding tears today may help you spread smiles tomorrow...
