Literary: The Teardrop Diversion

A teardrop is such a tiny thing, is it not? A teardrop, however, may hold all the meaning in the world. It may end a conversation and yet, it may begin one. This makes me wonder, what power does it have that it moves men so?

Figuratively speaking, a tear is nothing more or less than the purest essence of our emotions, be it anger, sorrow, or elation, and they say that one who cannot share his tears is an emotionally weak person.

This, of course, begins the question when and why did it become “uncool” to cry for those who really need it? Does being stoic show strength of character?

Of course, being in the presence of inelegant blubbering I awkward but you don’t have to join it to do you? Isn’t that as natural as voicing your opinion? After all, morals and emotions separate man from beast.

I say down with this repression, break off these societal shackles and attain true freedom, both in body and mind. And if not, well… I will keep for thee.
