“Mard nahi rotay hain” “Boys don’t cry Beta”…. and what not ? In our desi society specially I have seen mothers telling and scolding their son to not cry or show their breakdown to people as it is not a good sign, it is embarrassing if a man cry in front of the people. I mean I don’t understand WHY ? Why it is an embarrassment for a man to show their emotions and breakdown in front of people ? It’s completely okay for a human to express their emotions, I think it is a very natural and normal feeling. And not only in desi society but also around the globe there are many societies where it is a Taboo for a men to cry. People think men should be emotionless and strong and stiff enough to control their emotions.
You know crying out is healthy, when you cry half of your body your mind feels relax, crying refreshes your mind. Man can be vulnerable too. They feel things too, They have a heart too. Crying for every little thing when you are an adult is probably a sign of mental distress and that person may need help. But crying in response to strong emotions is perfectly perfectly normal. And I would request people to please stop making it a Taboo for a men to cry!
