There are rare
moments in life when even boys trickle with tears, soldiers do too. Women cherish it as an emotional release while men see it as weakness. But the inevitable fact is that our eyes flood with water when we're dealt with a strong emotion, either joy, fear, or sorrow. My son once asked me if it's true that boys don't cry. I said, "Of course not, everybody does!" "Why do we cry?", said my inquisitive child. I don't know technically how to explain it, but based on my experience, I said that we do cry maybe because our body can no longer contain it, and we have to push it out our eyes. It may be silly but I think it made sense.
