You can smile in public and you can express anger aggressively in the same public. But to cry your heart out, you need privacy. A private room, a pillow, or at least one hand is needed to cover the crying. Man considers crying as a dishonour. Although when he was born he was not born laughing or showing anger. It is only through crying that the newborn baby is confirmed to be healthy. From birth to the age until he speak, he uses crying as a language to express sleep, hunger, illness, and playful needs. In other words, man grows by crying. But why does he consider crying to be a disgrace as he grows up? Why does he think it is an act of bowing his head in shame?

According to science, crying is a comforting emotional expression, but society often considers it as an expression of weakness or vulnerability, and as such, it is often discouraged or stigmatized, particularly in men and boys. Gender Discrimination words like "Real men don't cry" are nothing but an expression of this. Approaching anything scientifically is probably the best way to remove the oppression built into it. Science says that emotional tears release the stress-relieving hormones oxytocin and endorphins. That means you can reduce stress, anxiety, and sadness by crying your heart out. Crying can also help to process difficult emotions and experiences and can lead to a sense of catharsis and emotional healing.It is a quirk of nature here that happiness comes from crying. Furthermore, crying can also serve as a means of social bonding. When we cry, we are expressing our vulnerability and humanness, which can lead to a sense of connection and empathy with others. Crying can also be a way of seeking support and comfort from others.

In addition, suppressing emotions and not allowing oneself to cry can lead to emotional suppression, which can have negative consequences on mental health, causing feelings of isolation, frustration, and even depression.

Thus, those who consider crying as ugly and want to control themselves turn it into anger and irritation and release it. They consider it as an honour. But by this the losses incurred by them are many. Many types of impacts can happen to them, from the breakdown of many relationships to the occurrence of serious crimes. Emotional crimes can be the result of eyes that thought tears were inappropriate.

Behind the memory traces of many broken relationships there is a stubborn pride that fails to share feelings, mistakes and cry. Many emotions such as anger, overwhelming joy, helplessness, disappointment, love can be expressed through crying. Crying is an expression of emotions and not just an expression of sadness. Crying is an aesthetic. A science beyond that.

In this century where fashion and progressive things are on the rise, everything from the freedom to wear whatever clothes that you want in a public place to the freedom to kiss whoever you want is available. But we don't know how many more centuries will it take to have the freedom to cry our hearts out in a public place without any embarrassment. So it may be time to cry your heart out to at least someone close to you.

We can’t thoroughly say Anything can be changed if you try. But we can say from experience that there is nothing that does not heal from crying.

In conclusion, crying is not a sign of weakness or vulnerability, but rather an important aspect of emotional wellness. It is a natural and healthy way of expressing emotions and can lead to emotional healing, social bonding and better mental health. So next time you feel the urge to cry, don't hold back, let your tears flow, it's not a sign of weakness but a sign of being human.

" So its absolutely alright to cry out ma homies "
