Grown Men Don't Cry..... Bull Crap !!!

so i had a very hard day at work that crept getting worse by the second!! and just nothing was going right. soo finally i got to pack up at the end of the day. and there was the light, my boss came in and made is soo much better. you see my boss is also the stake young mens pres. and they had youth conference this past week and on his ipod he had recorded over seven hundred youth singing "sons of Helaman" and "as daughters of Zion" and after such a hard day and with such a spiritual thing i cried standing there listening to it i cried. so it made me think why do they say "grown men don't cry". is it true that if you cry that you are not a grown man. NO !!!! it means you have velvet rapped up in a steel shell! some times it is okay for men to cry and to be held by those who you care about and who care about you. it is not a weakness more of a strength that no matter what happens you still are human and need comfort. sure as we grow up it is all part of the plan that molds and shapes everyone. it is true the saying "life is hard then you die" truely life is hard and it only gets hard whether it is a bully pushing you down on the playground or your wife after 75 years of marriage dies. LIFE is hard and it only gets harder, but there are ways to make it easier. like in the deserts occasionally you will find an oases to get you out of the sand in into the cool blue waters of a spring. and this oases can be anything from being on the top of a horse in the middle of the mountains to being held close by your mother as she rocks you back and forth telling you she loves you. Grown Men Do Cry, and i will be the first to stand up to anyone that says they don't. and tell them they are cold and heartless. because what is crying it is a form of expression from the heart. it is a plead by our very soles pleading to be heard by those around you whether it is happy or sad it is expressing itself though our tears. and i am proud to say that i cry sometimes whether is because a movie or im just having a bad day and need to let off steam. and i am happy to be alive and am able to show such an expression so i hope all of you have a good day and remember that it is ok to cry just make sure something good comes from it :)
