Define Being Strong
They said be strong..
I asked how?
They said, "Don't cry ". Don't show that weak emotion in front of anyone. That's how u become strong"
Isn't crying a emotion which helps us let go of our pain and trauma even if it doesn't heals completely. I don't know about others, but once I cry I feel relaxed after letting go of every thought which were being hurtful to me. That gave me the further courage to keep going on. Bottling up emotions is suffocating, so how does don't cry really work on making us strong? We all are humans who got emotions to express their feelings. Society asking to deny a particular emotion to be strong is the most ironic thing.
Who is the real strong person?? A person who doesn't express their several emotions and relies on the angry and aggressive attitude just like the society inserted in them OR a person who knows how to express their emotions in every aspect of life without fearing about others calling them weak or not.
Is a person who fears being called "weak" really a Strong person? If the person is hesitant and uncomfortable to express themselves then how exactly does that person gets the tag of being "Strong".
