Crying

Crying ... It's one of the most common things you see on TV Soaps these days (atleast the Hindi and Mallu ones that I know of). The TV serial heroine is always ostracised, and she is left with not other alternative but to "cry" it out (don't ask me the logic behind it - I have no clue!!!). Or, there is someone or the other dying (or if we viewers are lucky - Dead), and this leads to another set of people crying. In short - TV Soaps are filled with someone or the other crying!


Anyways - none of them are "crying for real". So lets not take into account their tears!


But, since we are on this topic - Lets take a moment to think:
Why do people cry???
Well - the answer is very very simple - Because they are really really upset!


Is crying the right thing to do?
Well - although the answer is not very straight forward this time around - its a mechanism, more like an instinct, to vent their frustration at not being able to do anything in particular to resolve the particular problem/crisis they are facing. And although it might not be the "best of solutions" - it helps one overcome, or at the very least - live with, an adversity.


Who all cry?
Well - The answer to this question is elementary - EVERYONE!


Even the most hardened criminals would cry - provided the right stimulus came their way!

Kids cry when the are injured.
Men cry when their glory is destroyed.
Women cry when their pride is tarnished.
Mothers cry when their children are hurt.
Lovers cry when their lover is upset.

I could go on and on and on ...

But to cut a long story short: "People cry whenever they experience an unforeseen person loss, and it is a very natural instinct - Period!"
