Should Men Cry In Public?

I was watching a Sunday talk show where an actor was interviewed. After series of sentimental questions, actor began to cry where million of filipino televiewers witnessed it. He seemed crying with natural feelings and no sort of acting ingredients on it. But then I asked myself, "Should men cry in public?

Crying is a natural way of releasing one's feelings and emotions. Scientifically, it prevents heart ailments simply because it releases the tensions inside your body. But again, "Should men cry in public?"

Personally, I grew up surrounded by men in the family and everytime a brother of mine cries, my Daddy always scolded him not to cry in public. It marked in my mind then that men should not cry in public... they can cry...only privately. Even my sister and I were not allowed also to cry publicly. Honestly, it's difficult to control your tears not to fall but I learned it. Just simply shut off your heart and use your mind instead.

Going back to the question, "Should men cry in public?" I'll stick to my Dad's idea that men and even women shouldn't cry in public. Hence, do it in a private place instead. Crying is a manifestation of showing your emotional side which you will sound subjectively. Controlling your emotions, you tend to be objective to your conversation and makes you more focus to the things you want to share.

So, to the men out there who cry publicly, try to control it. If I can do it, you can too.
