WHO WILL DIE WHEN YOU CRY
'The smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.'
I've been reading Robin Sharma's "Who Will Cry When You Die' for quite some time & it made me re-think that when a person cry, something always dies with it. Sorrow is after-all counted in the darkest of the emotions. A person can believe anything or nothing when consumed by sorrow. A child always cries during the birth, so it won't be wrong to say that no one is 'born-happy' in this world. Any infant cannot smile till a few months. Sobbing also gains some sympathy in most cases.
So why do we cry? What is the reason for crying? The answer is not as simple as the question itself. Sometime's the silver lining takes a little longer to shine hence a person cries or the person is beaten-up by someone or simply that the person wants to shed off all his emotions in the form of tears. Tears speak more than the tongue but less than the eyes. In Robin Sharma's book, he has given 101 simple solutions to the most complex problems that we face in our daily life. When a person cries, his soul cries along-with his body. The body language of the person clearly indicates that no matter if the tears are of joy or sorrow, the person is extremely vulnerable to emotions at that time. That person calls for support from within & expects his wish to be fulfilled. Just moving the hand around that person's back will, literally, earn you his respect alongside peace. People don't remember those who help them in their bright times, its the darker one's that's always under scrutiny. Someone's death, hurt or bad-deeds are responsible for tears of sorrow, NO. Sometimes a person just cries to lighten their heart like by being nostalgic we laugh, by remembering something we can also cry & this is not sorrow. It is just meant to relieve that person from his mental torture. So when a person cries, his head, heart & soul gets lighten-ed up. He loses all the inhibitions & walks on a road leading to peace. But crying is not an indication of being weak but instead the person feels relaxed & hence can concentrate even better after crying. All the tears wash away his fears.
So who dies when one cries? The answer is simple, its the inhibitions, the fear, the hubris, the arrogance & the problem itself of the person that dies. Tears have enough power to carry them away deep into the abyss of the past. In a movie there's a dialogue that, "We should never let our past to be forgotten because by that we're letting it to be re-formed again in the future in the form of a monster.
Our main job is to be as humane as possible & we should not be afraid of crying because as I've said it, it kills our biggest 'mental-foe'.
Happy Crying
Thanks for your mail. The blog is looking better than before. Since you have asked me to, I hope you dont mind if I pointed out a few things. The font is good and readable, but the font color is a little too faint (black on white is my favorite). It would be nice if it contrasts with the background a bit more. (The background is easy on the eye but a little too dull) Keep it plain instead of using textures. The facebook widget at the bottom is looks tacky. Maybe you should get something more elegant and shift it to the right side. Try and get a good profile picture, and also a better (preferably custom made) banner. Blogroll a few good blogs. It helps you to increase your traffic and gives your reader a sense of what your blogging tastes are like. Use a tag cloud. Minimize the blog archive. A better idea is to give links to related posts at the bottom of new posts. Try and add the facebook like button and tweetmeme. These are all just visual and technical aspects. But winning content is always the best way to becoming a successful blogger.
