Holding Back Tears

Some hold back their tears due to inner fears. Knowing their life is bad, will make all sad. Thinking this, they always smile.They wear mask. No one can make out from their face they're sad. If they try to resolve their problem by sharing, speaking about it, it might end. Often misunderstandings cause anguish, talking straight from heart can bring peace and joy. Don't hold back tears, try to eliminate them. Find the root cause of tears, change yourself. ~~~ Desires, expectations, attachment cause pain, tears. Remove them once for all from life. The root cause of tears are negative thoughts, with a mere change of mind tears can be stopped. ~~~~~ For : Edward Ibeh This or That, Vol 5

You have selected the great and difficult Tetractys style and have composed the work very beautifully. "Don't hold back tears, try to eliminate them. Find the root cause of tears, change yourself." Great Advice.
