Growing up I always heard this line ‘men don’t cry’ that crying was mostly reserved for women and it really caught on, I guess that’s why even as a child i tried not to cry even when the school teacher gives me some strokes of the cane in front of the entire class just to form ‘strong boy’ that can endure 10 strokes of cane without crying.

Well I actually went on like this until I lost my dad at the age of 17. In fact when I first heard the news of his demise I didn’t shed a single tear cause it all seemed like a ‘home video’ to me (what did a small boy like me know about death) not until a month plus later when he was going to be buried, that was when I realized that this is no movie o that this man I loved so much is going under the earth and I won’t get to see him again. You need to see the tears from my eyes that day; all through I was shedding tears like waterfalls with no breaks. I’ll say that was the first time I cried as man.
After then I had to still caution myself not to cry like that in public again which I really stood by, well not until in my quest to live a most righteous life the Lord revealed the extent and weight of my sin to me…my people, I was in the midst of my brethren and I cried like a new born baby that day, it was as if someone forgot to close the taps in my eyes for almost an hour the tears just kept rolling down. That day passed and I thought that was the last of me crying then came the day I received a promise from the Lord with His Spirit upon me, all alone in my room I experienced what it meant to have tears of joy. This one went on for virtually the whole day though at intervals but with so great joy in my heart like never before.

These days I shed tears easily when singing some hymns that really touches me or when I sin and the burden of that sin comes upon me, it brings tears to my eyes as I ask for forgiveness from God Almighty.
So have you ever cried as man, or do you still think tears are reserved for the women folk?
Kindly share your experiences no matter the circumstance surrounding it.
Remember John 11:35 “Jesus wept’. So it actually takes a strong man to cry.

When I lost my elder brother... I lost everything

Am just living for living sake oo... Cos to me I should have been the one to have died.. Not him..
I still ask God why he didn't kill me and spare my brother.

The day I got the news of his demise.. Then I was admitted in the hospital...

The news came... And I cried and wailed all through one good whole week... With syringe on my hand..

I couldn't eat.. The life was miserable and still miserable without him.... THAT DAY I CRIED..... I SAW MY DAD CRIED TOO..... IT WAS HELL IN OUR HOUSE THAT 2015 MAY 20TH

2012 jan 25

So I used to be that Mr stony heart, always felt only weak men cry, till I drove my very sick dad to the hospital, I opened my door, told him we were already in the hospital but no reply, thought he was sleeping then I hit him and called him daddy no response... .. . You know the rest....... That was the day I realised even the strongest of hearts can be broken, tears flowed uncontrollably.

I don really give a fvck bout anything so crying is less considered

Wetin wan make me cry. I no get family. Papa and mama no know whether I dey exist or not. The last time I go see my mama she send me away say I be wizard I wan take her life. Only child, no bro no sis no cousin no aunty. The place i lived as househelp na so so suffer psychologically, physically, healthwise and original poverty come join. Called on God, God seem far. Wetin eye never see

The only thing weh fit make me cry is to see a very humble lover suffer and apart from tears sef, I'm moved, to act. Unfortunately humble lovers do not exist anymore. What we have are proud lovers..ppl who claim self esteem. Such people their sufferness never complete. If God made them a goat rather than human, I wonder how dem go take show esteem. Pride is pride. Tell a stroke patient who have been bedridden for 12yrs about self esteem, he'll tell you you're speaking a strange language

Sorry about your loss bro. The Lord is your strength, seek Him and he'll make all things right again.

I guess death of a loved one breaks the heart of even the strongest men. Take heart bro.

Wow... This is interesting. You have really seen life and felt the pain.
Your pain thought a lot of lessons some persons might never learn until they find themselves on the hospital bed as a stroke patient just as you mentioned then they will become humble enough to listen and learn. Count yourself lucky bro for in the midst of pain borne patiently wisdom is born. And never think God is far He's always there, no one know why somethings happen but He knows all things. Be strong the more bro.
