I was in my 7th class. I had a sister who is just 3 years old at that time. She went to my mother's father's house (Maternal grandfather). There she suffered from a fever. They send a word to my father to come immediately. My father and mother started to go there. They took my sister with them and left me with my uncle ( My father's brother). My sister did not recover and expired. I wept a lot as I could not see even her body after her death. This incident happened almost 50 years back and even today I remember those moments. Even today I feel sorry for my deceased sister.
Everybody will definitely have some instances where they wept. In our native village, my father was felicitated by an association there. I was asked to say a few words. While I was talking I was not able to control my feelings and I wept on the dias while giving a speech. Like this, some times we may weep even without our knowledge. Emotions rule us and we may behave in a different way.

Weeping in one's life is almost common but a situation on which we weep is notary one. During my tenth standard, we were in a position to select one special subject as Elective, this we have to select from Algebra &Geometry, Chemistry, Physics, History, Biology, zoology and History. This elective is besides common subjects Tamil, English, Maths, Social Science and Science. I took Algebra and Geometry overcoming the advise of my uncle to take Chemistry. Due to something I got zero in the first term test in elective subject. I assured my Elective teacher as I would get a good mark in the forth coming quarterly examination. However he asked me to get signature of my father in the valued answer paper in order to make my father aware about my marks. With fear I just went to my father's office directly from class, as to avoid in the presence of others especially my mother. I told the assurance given to my teacher by me. He without scolding or saying only 'Take care in your studies' and signed in the answer sheet. Then I handed over the same to my teacher but after that only I wept as anything, by noting the confidence which my father put on me. Afterwards, I passed all the examinations without fail and even I got 182 out of 200 in my PUC Mathematics. But even today, I am thinking and weeping on my father's reaction.

Weeping is the natural outlet of our extreme sorrow or frustration and definitely this is the natural way of balancing the over tension. In absence of this natural outlet, it could have given a rise of other physical ailments such as High Blood Pressure, Heart Ailments and other unpredictable disease.
Weeping is the manifestation of our emotional love for anyone whom we like from our inner core of heart and any trouble or torture of our loved ones can bring tears in our eyes. Even this might be the excess happiness making us weep. Suppose the results of our examinations are outstanding but did not expect such results, we would definitely have tearful eyes.

I think everyone weeps because life is not a bed of roses, and we face tragedies in our lives. Tragedies make us weep. Sometimes we also weep in happiness. When I was in 7th grade, one of my school teachers teased me by saying that I had only gotten the second position in the final exam. I wept continuously because I had hoped to come in first. I also wept bitterly when my father was transferred from one place to another in 7th grade. My friends came to give him a farewell, and I couldn't stop crying. I wept bitterly when my mother and father departed.

Service to mankind is service to God.

In my child days I would have wept and cried a lot, but which I do not remember.

The first occasion, that still lingers in my mind, when I wept was when I was about eleven years old. It was when some of my relatives who came from Mumbai and presented us with new clothes. I was not impressed by the colour of the shirt they gave me. It was a dull white colour and when I compared it with that of my other siblings, I started weeping.
The guests felt surprised and they and my mother started consoling me telling me that the quality of my shirt is far superior to others and this colour is the best suited for me. Still it took sometime for me to stop weeping.

In my adult life, whenever I have to buy clothes for children this incidence always comes to my mind and I ensure both colour and quality are appealing to the children. Especially for small children I used to buy more number of lesser cost clothes with variety in colour and design rather than a single costly item. The same method I used for my son when he was a child and found effective.

The question by the author reminded me of the shortest verse in the English translation of the Bible, 'Jesus wept'. We have stories in the Hindu scriptures too wherein we get to read about Gods and the divine characters shedding tears. And what are we? We are simple mortals. So it is quite natural and nothing abnormal if we cry or weep. It is just an expression of our emotion which may be sad or happy.

I am one person who tend to feel emotional even while watching some scenes in movies. In real life situations, though I try to hide my tears at times, I remember weeping on many occasions. Some were due to excitement and some due to uncontrollable pain due to different reasons.

As I am an emotional person, I have wept several times in my life, right from my childhood till now. During my childhood, I used to attend Bhagawath Gita class every Sunday. Once, there was a competition to recite a stanza from the Gita. My mother had given my name without my knowledge. I was sitting with the audience and watching other children's performances. Suddenly, my name was called upon and was forced to climb up the dias and recite. I started weeping inconsolably and was pacified by the judges later on.
Another very sad incident, I would like to recollect happened on my way to college. It so happened that my friend and I came across a beggar who asked us for some money for food. As we did not have much money we could not offer him any money. However, when walked back on the same road, we saw him eating up some pieces of waste paper. After having seen that I wept and even now I remember this incident.
I feel weeping helps us provide us with emotional catharsis. We should never bottle up our grief.

Quite an interesting thread from the author. I have had multiple such experiences and surely all of us have experienced this at some point or the other in our lives or maybe many times. Weeping is called weakness by some people whereas it is just the opposite. You may feel more energetic after crying. In fact, crying has always been beneficial for health. It doesn't matter if the person is men or a woman a child or an old person, we all are human, we all have emotions and we have the right to express our emotions in any way. So when feel to weep please don't try to hide your emotions. I often listen when people say especially to a boy, don't weep 'cause you are a boy, but believe me, you are a human first.

Many members have given very emotional responses. Roshan says that it is a personal matter and he cannot share it. I respect his privacy.
I also must share my experience in this matter as others have done. There were many occasions when tears came in my eyes and sometimes I cried in public and sometimes when I was alone. I do not remember all those occasions as some of them might be of routine nature like getting banging from my father when I did a mistake.
I will like to share one that I still remember. One of my uncles with whom we were very frank and close and he liked us much fell seriously ill and when I went to see him he did not recognise me. His condition was very severe and he died within a week of that. When I got the news tears rolled down my cheeks and I cried for quite some time. It was a sad event. The sorrows of that moment still hang on my head.

Knowledge is power.

Weeping is very important for surviving a happy life. Our sadness comes out with tears. If there had been no tears we would have not been able to survive a happy life.

I am a very emotional person and almost every week tears come out of my eye in both situations happy movements and sad movements.

Honesty is the best policy.
