SHEDDING TEARS

Life is not a bed of roses or a leisure walk in our lawns - it is full of adventures with so many ups and downs. When we strive to rise, we may slip and fall for what is it to rise if we haven't fallen. Indeed, falling is sad and discouraging but is it everlasting? Well, that depends on us. We and only we decide, for how long would we linger with the fall and when we will begin striving again for the rise.

When we fall, it is natural to cry, to shed tears and throw the burdensome grief off our heart. For how long should we cry - as long as a child cries after falling, as long as the ripple stays in water. As per the scientific studies, emotional pain lasts for less than a hour and the rest is the production of our mind. If it is emotionally painful to fall after so many efforts, then we would actually feel the pain for less than a hour. 

Shedding tears is good and we should shed tears but only for short periods of time. Excessive crying is vain and usually a choice. Talking of choosing to cry, we can choose to cry for the rest of our life and our state will only go worse than any better. 

If crying had ever been a solution, then there would have been no problems. But fortunately or unfortunately, rising up again and striving again takes us to a solution. We all are given the option of making the fall everlasting or immaterial, a lot depends on which choice we make.
