Liquid emotion

I have always wondered why it was that crying always distressed more the ones that witness the event than those who are actually doing the action. Everytime I ahave cried when in the company of others I know, it upsets them and they try to make you stop. But they are upset over your tears, which is the very emotion that got you started in the first place. So why can they not understand the necessity of letting some of it out? There really is no harm in it.

Maybe its just not all tears, just mine. They have been capable of breaking hearts o just plain made people wish that they could yank their own still beating hearts out of their chest in hopes to placate and comfort enough to stem the flow of tears. Why bother? You can no more stop them as you can stop the rain from falling...
