The Fear of Tears...

Long ago a great man said "To behold a woman's cry makes you sad, a man crying just wants to make you kick his ass once more."

So what is it about men and crying that makes people want to spit on them? Why should a woman then be allowed to cry? Crying, my dear friends is not a characteristic of a particular gender, 'tis the heart that weepeth not the man.

There are two ways of looking at and understanding the title...
1) You fear crying, i.e. making a supposed fool of yourself in public.
2) Being scared of people who cry.

I will try to discuss both scenarios...

FEAR OF CRYING...

I am sure that every man feels this fear. Every man is ashamed to admit that he cries. It might be after a hard fall in P.E. class in 5th standard or a particularly unpleasant event in your peer group. Crying is just a form of expressing one's emotions.
The Raj Kapoor era started it all... That was the era in which women enjoyed watching men cry for a change. Curse him... and suddenly crying was fashion. Dudes who could never hope to get the girl in the usual "Majnu Laila" ishtyle resorted to crying. How many fake cry-babies have we not seen in our lives? Such people apparently have no shame and are willing to bare all before anybody (No kinky thoughts please.. this is a serious issue). If in a particularly unpleasant situation or extreme grief, anybody is excused. A man also needs to express his emotions. But people crying after a short squabble or to extract pity is just a disgrace.

Please do not take these words to hear.. You need to know a person very closely before you decide if he is a sissy or not. People very often have very weird ways of expressing themselves. Think about this and the people around you.

FEAR OF PEOPLE WHO CRY...

This people is a very genuine fear. Someone come up with a good scientific -----phobia name. Be very very careful with people who cry, especially men. Never ever oppose them or they will cry. What is so great about someone who cries? you may ask... but the society immediately makes you the villain instead of condemning the person for being a cry baby. The society will consider you a brute who has made a man cry, it will never think of the cause or the consequence. It is something like BMTC bus drivers being blamed for all accidents involving a bus. Really unfair, I know, but life is seldom fair. Never argue with a man who cries

Think about it, The Fear of tears... I bet nobody ever thought of this :P

P.S. The great man mentioned at the beginning of the post is me :D but the effect is always better if it seems like someone else has said it.

P.P.S Well, I don't think anybody wants to know about women crying. I should probably write about some of the things they might not cry for. Since the majority of the blog readers are male and chauvinistic to a certain degree I will speak no further.. comment if you want to say something.

P.P.P.S I simply love putting post scripts.. In case any of you are wondering from where the extra 'P's are coming, it is an inspiration from Tom & Jerry.

P.P.P.P.S I never knew so many people want to read what I read. Thanks to all of you.

P.P.P.P.P.S once again... Exams suck

P.P.P.P.P.P.S ok.. that's enough.. this is getting rather irritating.

Ciao.. May your swords stay sharp and may your eyes stay dry. And may your refill never get empty. ( A sword is a sword and not symbolic to anything else)
Bye.
