The Gift of Tears




There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.

You survive because you can cry. You cry your way through disappointments, hurt, heartbreak, unmet expectations, betrayal and pain . You also cry your way through happiness, overwhelming, immense joy and laughter. Tears cleanse and heal you. They enable you to endure all that life gives you.

A life without tears is unimaginable. Tears are what make our life beautiful, enabling us to experience happiness, joy, struggles, failures and victories and play a critical role in helping us evolve as better human beings.

Had it not been for tears, surviving failures and struggles would be impossible. The beauty of tears lie in the space they provide to express our vulnerability that we try to hide. A space for outburst that reveals our humane side and enables us to experience our true selves.

Tears are thus a blessing in disguise and the greatest of gifts to - Experience Life !
