A young boy approached his mother, puzzled by her tears. "Why are you crying?" he inquired. Her reply, "Because I'm a woman," only left him more bewildered.

She hugged him tightly, murmuring, "And perhaps you'll never grasp it

Seeking clarity, he turned to his father later, questioning why his mother wept seemingly without reason. The father's response, "All women cry without cause," offered no insight.

As the boy matured into a man, the mystery of women's tears lingered in his mind. Eventually, he sought an explanation from God Himself. Upon reaching God, he asked, "Why do women cry so readily?"

God elucidated, "When I fashioned woman, I endowed her with uniqueness. I granted her shoulders strong enough to bear the weight of the world, yet tender enough to offer solace. I instilled in her an inner fortitude to endure childbirth and the pain of rejection from her own children. I gifted her with resilience to persevere when everyone else falters, nurturing her family through illness and exhaustion without complaint."

Continuing, God expounded on a woman's capacity to love her children unconditionally, even when deeply wounded by them. He spoke of her strength to support her husband despite his flaws, fashioned from his rib to safeguard his heart. God underscored her wisdom, understanding that a good husband doesn't harm but occasionally tests her mettle, strengthening her resolve to stand by him.

"And lastly," God continued, "I bestowed upon her tears, exclusively hers to shed whenever needed." He imparted a final lesson: "The essence of a woman's beauty isn't in attire, physique, or hairstyle. It resides in her eyes, the gateway to her heart where love resides."
