Many people associate crying with weakness. If a person easily breaks down, it gives the
36 that the person is soft and can easily be overpowered. But many do not know that tears have a purpose. It has a 37 after-effect on a person that can give comfort and strength to 38 any negative feeling or depression.
People cry for a reason. You may cry because you are too happy or too sad or very angry. Letting your tears flow freely gives you a sense of 39 to be true to your feelings and to yourself. It is a surrender (屈服) to your emotions that 40 you that you are human and you have the right to your emotions, 41 they are pleasant or not.
Just like water that washes off filth (污物), tears slowly wash off the 42 thoughts and feelings. That is why when you are in pain or in sorrow, do not 43 and let your tears roll down naturally. After a while you will 44 feel a bit better. Your tears become a form of 45 when problems become too much for us to bear.
In my opinion, people who are not afraid to cry 46 are stronger than those who control the tears for later. If the reason for crying is 47 and your emotions are very strong, you have no reason to be ashamed.
Tears can make you stronger in a way. When faced with a problem, people who control their tears 48 to constantly worry and stress about the problem and fail to see the 49 right away. This makes them more prone (易于…的) to weakness and to more mistakes. These people may 50 strong because they hide what they truly feel. But the truth is, all the pretensions make them a weaker person.
On the other hand, people who openly 51 themselves to cry release their emotions much sooner. After crying, these people feel more 52 and can then begin to think straight. 53 the negative thoughts and emotions have been reduced, they can 54 think of ways to solve the problem.
As the saying goes, “The truth shall set you free.” Tears show others your true emotions. Your true strength is using your tears to easily 55 your moment of suffering. That is the power of tears.
