June 26, 2008Reader Comment ~ Tears are the best
Hear. Hear. I have to commend the article on “The Secret Power of Tears”. As women in business, we are forced to hold back any and every emotion, especially tears. I have done this for years and have only recently learned how much this has affected me not only in my career, but also in personal relationships — and health. I may never cry in business, but I now agree with the power a discretely placed release such as tears can contribute to one’s life- and love!

I’m a fan of tears, of course they should be enjoyed in only the most responsible, respectful way – both toward their owner, and toward whomever else may be around.
Tears of frustration at work may not be a grand plan, but those very same frustrated tears on lunch break in the privacy of one’s own car can be down-right cathartic!
My maternal family, a very fiesty lot of females, are of the opinion that nothing clears the ability to see your best like a good ol’ healthy case of the cries. I learned from my strong, powerful old aunties that tears are the result of a moist, juicy soul, and that those who rarely weep are either drowning or dried up on the inside. Either option is not optimal.
I say, women and men – reclaim your right to burst into tears! Thunderstorms are best enjoyed for the rainbow that follows.
