When A Men Cries #2 (One Way to be Happy)
The prominent proclaimer of Indonesia, Soekarno, once mentioned that sometimes, a person can secretly cry in silence. Stories like that sometimes seem a bit melancholic for some people, especially for men.
Yes, men are creatures who consider themselves superior. Dropping tears for them means a crybaby. Crying is a characteristic of women. Boys shouldn't cry, as The Cure put it, "cause boys don't cry."
Ah, never mind, throw away all the innate ego of patriarchal society like that, what's wrong if you cry even when you are a hero and are male.
Crying is normal. It's a biological law that humans—no matter male or female—can cry at any time. Even Superman wouldn't hurt if he cried.
Cry. When you feel that people have shunned you due to the mistakes you have made. Or, cry, when you feel like you left someone when they needed you and now you regret it.
If you are embarrassed that later people will see the side that you think is weak, then cry in a quiet place, in the corner of the night, only with your god, joking about regrets so you know that tears are the one that makes you stronger passionate about life.
Cry, so that tomorrow you can smile with relief, that the burden of regret has been swept away by the air.
"There comes a time in your life, you want to be alone with the wind, tell all the secrets, then shed a tear.
-Soekarno-
