Expressing emotions!!

Returning back to my blog after years and was thinking what to start with? What a topic my mind picked up- Tears!! No super logic to it- may be this is top of the mind topic I have been thinking about

My mother called me this morning and I missed it as I was busy with some other work. Her call came again within 15 mins- left me thinking what has happened? The moment I picked up the call, the voice on other side was so worried. Last night I complaint of pain in my hand to her, she was worried for it and wanted to inquire about my well- being and wanted to come and see me. I was like " maa its ok, its not a major thing- I'll be ok. Dont trouble yourself , no need to come.
She started crying, saying its been 21 days she saw me and was missing me , hence wanted to see me. Pain was just a reason. I consoled her , and said " aa- jao"
Kept staring at my handset for few mins, before I could continue my work

What do tears signify ???
Happiness, helplessness, anger, love, sympathy.......they basically reflect extreme emotions! Like for my mother and almost all mothers its love for their kids.
But this form of expression is limited to few- so do others dont get these emotions ???

What is it then??
Are tears reflection of ones's weakness- when you cant express your emotions by any other mode, u cry!!
Crying is good at times, it washes away whatever negative is stored in you. But as excess of everything is bad - this holds true with tears as well

The silence , the vacuum, the loneliness inside people many a times find its way out in form of tears.

But what about fake tears- " crocodile tears "as many call them . Getting tears is it so easy? I always feel tears come from inside and one has no control over it .

Whatever it is - for me tears are most pure form of expressing emotions and one needs to respect it at all times!!
