Cry is important. Accept the failures

Crying is not a weakness; it is human. Successes and failures are part and parcel of our lives. Just as we celebrate success with laughter, joy, and bliss, so should failure be addressed with suitable emotions like crying or by discussing what made it difficult for us.

Just like any other emotion, crying is one of the pivotal ones. But somehow, we consider it a sign of weakness—something one should be ashamed of. If someone does something bad to us, instead of addressing it by expressing our emotions through crying, we either burn in rage or rankle with resentment.

Just as laughing, sleeping, eating, and drinking are considered normal, it is high time we considered crying normal too.

When faced with difficulty or failure, we choose to mull over our failure instead of crying it out. This is because our upbringing and societal norms have made us believe that crying is a sign of weakness or that it is jinxed.

We need to be empathetic in our approach; the more empathetic one becomes, the higher their emotional quotient grows. Handling failure with the right emotion is essential if we want to make the most out of the lessons it teaches us.

Not addressing it, or being indifferent to what aches inside, will become insidious in the times to come.
