Emotional Strength: Crying

Is crying for the weak?

I have been always been labelled as a cry baby since my childhood , if you cry, you are a loser or a weaker person in the room, probably that was the way I was explained too!! Just as the majority of other children. 

So if I ever cried as a kid or even as an adult now, my parents would show their dislike towards it as well as always explained to me and put in all their efforts to dissuade me and tell me how it affects the mind and the body physically.

As life goes on, I embarked this journey of self discovering, healing and self-development and this comes from my curious nature.

The more i understood things the more my whys lead to understanding life at a deeper level. As I read further, I understood crying is a sign of been vulnerable, being YOU, expressing not suppressing your emotions out to others, crying is an expression to extreme emotion.

But in todays age and time, where people are getting more lonely, technologically oriented, manipulative, fake, afraid of showing real them, self expression to others, Does crying weaken or makes you stronger?

When I can express my emotions openly, where as others can’t I still can’t understand, who has the luxury to cry and who doesn’t?
I feel crying is a luxury over the existential chores in this challenging world…
