Tears, a silent droplet

In the vast spectrum of emotions, there's one that every soul encounters yet often struggles to articulate — tears. It's the poignant output of a profound process, the essence of crying.

This emotional journey aligns with humanity from the moment of its inception. When a newborn cries, it evokes tears in the eyes of parents, witnessing their own flesh and blood before them, a tiny miracle born from the hopes they nurtured during the months of anticipation. The culmination of those aspirations manifests in a miraculous smile, accompanied by tears of joy.

And then, when life completes its cycle, and a person departs, it leaves a trail of tears in the eyes of those left behind. In that cascade of tears, the worthiness of a life is measured, or so I believe.

"Tears are words the heart can't express," they say.

Just like rain descends when clouds can no longer bear their burden, tears flow when the heart can no longer endure the weight of pain. What's particularly challenging is when you find yourself smiling, not out of joy, but as a brave attempt to stave off the relentless fall of tears.

It's crucial to acknowledge that shedding tears in times of pain is not a sign of weakness but a silent prayer, an earnest communication with a higher power when words fail us.

A laughter, at times, acts as a veil, concealing the tears within our eyes. Tears, then, become a subtle sign of unspoken happiness, while a smile becomes a poignant expression of concealed pain. There's a peculiar sweetness to a smile on lips that have tasted the bitterness of tears.

Tears of joy, akin to summer raindrops kissed by sunbeams, glisten with a unique radiance.

Yet, there are instances when tears become a manifestation of profound anger, a helpless reaction when faced with insurmountable challenges. In those moments, as tears stream down, it's a testament to reaching an impasse.

In such times, instead of merely wiping away tears, there's merit in wiping away the people who brought them forth. Life, as they say, is a complex blend of sunshine and rain, of teardrops and laughter, of pleasure and pain. It's a tapestry woven with the threads of our deepest emotions, where tears play a poignant role, each drop echoing the human experience.
