To CRY or not to CRY?
I've always been a fan of crying, be it over tragic movies (Moulin Rouge a favorite), sad stories, and sad situations etc. For me, crying relieves tied up nerves, unburdens a heavy heart, and clears the head. After I cry I always feel so much better. Just this morning, I ran into a very hard situation that seemingly had no solution at all, putting my grades and thesis work in jeopardy. (I am taking up a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology). Long story short, I felt reeeallly terrible and just wanted to cry so I could clear my head and let out what I feel. When I told a friend that I felt like crying, he said: "Crying NEVER does anything, it won't SOLVE anything. Just change the schedule of your thesis sampling blah blah..." Of course I saw his point, but I was a bit shocked at it... I ended up NOT crying about it... and guess what i felt TERRIBLE the whole day, I kept thinking about the problem, it was such a burden! ... Sometimes all I need is a good cry and I'll be fine. I'll be able to think more clearly. But that's just me. (I know, I'm such a cry baby ha ha!) What do you guys think? Is crying unnecessary? Do you feel the same way about my friend? Do you agree with me?
