How Many Tears Have You Shed (121)
GingerBe: Compassion. That things move us to tears. Sharing someone's joy, feeling someone's pain, feeling the sadness of something beautiful that is lost to you or others.
True... though there are tears of anger, joy etc. I can't classify the person who cries the most as the most compassionate... Jesus and Buddha weren't in tears every day, as far as we know

Jesus was recorded as shedding tears of blood. Haven't a clue about Buddha tough. I thought he was dispassionate, not compassionate.

Ain't sure but I think he was sweating drops of blood in anticipation of his ordeal. Maybe you mean statues or paintings of Jesus...
As for Buddha, my understanding is that he's both... along the lines of what Maharaj said: Wisdom tells me I am nothing; love tells me I am everything. Between the two my life flows. (though he wasn't a Buddhist)

jaguardancer: When my love decided she no longer wanted to share her life with me I have to admit I was set back for quite sometime and yes even shed some tears. Well I shed more than some. I was wondering just how long other people shed their tears. I was not one to sing thank God and greyhound she's gone. I really missed her.
I stopped shedding tears a looooong time ago. I feel NO ONE is responsible for MY happiness exept me. Got rid of what i dont need..........looking for what i do.

I'd really need to do more research on this one. There is much written on the subject of love and its many aspects. Love, in its essence, might not be the same as love generated from thought, ie: the emotion, since Buddha's teachings encourage people to meditate, (the absence of thought), in order to see things clearly.

xxDandelionxx: I am so sorry to hear of your plight, my friend
But this is a new one on me.... do men REALLY cry over a lost love? I am of the impression that men can hold it together, remain detached, if you like. Its just that I am not familiar with a man being emotional. Does it hurt that much or is that just for the female of the species? I truly want to understand this one....

You have a misconception about men. I am not alone in showing my emotions. Perhaps it is the feminine energies are out of balance but I douth it. This is what I do and who I am. Some people kick cans. I cry when I'm upset.

Swissblueeyes: I've been going through it for 10 months going on 11 but I wasnt married to him..Was just off and on seeing each other for 2 years. It takes time to heal..Would be great if they had a pill to take for heartache..lol.. how long have you two been broke up?
Being married has nothing to do with with ones emotions. A marriage certificate is just a legal piece of paper even the marriage vows or just words. It has been a over a year this time.------ This thread is Archived ------

You're right. All but one of the men I know cry, some a lot. Nothing wrong with your hormones or energy, it's just human.

GingerBe: I think that our capacity to shed tears is equal to our capacity to love.
My capacity to love is hugh and I have nothing but love and compassion in abundance. This is a Gift Creator gave to me and I wouldn't have it any other way. Even if I am still in the lesson of how to handle the pain. Yes I even cry watching movies also.------ This thread is Archived ------
darkchocolate_sh: am 33 and i've cried so much am all out of tears.refill please 55 gallons is a joke 95.9 is thanks to broken heart my heart is like a jigsaw puzzle only peices [someone please put it back together].
I found it an advantage to go to group counseling of like minded people. There is plenty of Compassion in these groups and support for each other. They are someone to talk to when you feel all alone.

I think that being in touch with your emotions to that degree is lovely.

Thanks for your honesty. I'm glad men are now coming round to the idea that it's okay for a man to cry! It has absolutely nothing to do with manliness.... In fact I think being able to show your vulnerability is a strength.
I cry often. I get moved often - by my children and by other people, in movies, by world events. I cry when I'm happy and I cry when I'm sad! It isn't always easy, but I'm glad I have the gift of being able to feel compassion for others.

A lot depends on the kind of person you are and how deeply you felt for her. This too shall pass and if you are open to it another love will fill the void. At least you still have the capacity to love and cry. I cried so many tears that I have none left to shed.

When I was 17 I had a boyfriend. We have been together then for 3 years allready. He was older then me. Had a motorbike. One day on his way down to my parents house he had an accident on the motorway. We had a big row that day. Sadly he died in the accident and we never could make up.
My whole life fell apart, I left school moved to my auntie in the Netherlands. Needed space. I cried and cried and cried.
In the end I had to pull myself togeteher. But I think the worst then was that people told me that I am only young.Yes I was young. but still it made no difference to me. The one I wanted to be with had died.
To this day when I drive to the Netherlands and come past the place where the accident was I still feel very sad.
But life goes on. And I never have given up hope to find that special person in my life again...........
