Re: terrifying disappointments as lessons in life
Most men do cry but not "infront of everyone" due to certain facts. e.g.
Some men think that crying infront of everyone is a sign of weakness, because than everyone would gather around them and start consoling them and offer their shoulder to cry on.
Alot of times men are expected to console their relatives when everyone else seems to be losing hope. e.g. After a death, when "alot" of women are crying in a loud voice and totally unaware of what they are doing, if men also start crying than who would handle the situation. That is one of the reasons why you would mostly find a woman placing her head on a man's shoulder while crying and not vice versa
