Is it ok?

When boys are turning into men, they are always told, "Be a man and suck it up." Whether they are crying, in pain, or complaining, they are told to be a man. Are men not allowed to cry? Does it show us they're weak?

Well not to be the bearer of bad news but we are all weak. But why is it that we pick out men and don't want them to cry? When Jesus hung on the cross for us, not only did he cry but he wept. He wept and he said, "It is finished."

When you find yourself in the situation with a crying male, remember Jesus. Remember that Jesus died for you. And when he died for you he wept. There is nothing wrong with seeing a male cry. It does not show he is weak one bit. "That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

When a man cries it does not show that he is weak, it shows that he is human.
