Crying is good it is food for the soult.

I am nearing my 80 birthday, and I like Glenn Beck, am a cryier. I often say and in a way mean it: I cry at wakes, weddings and fancy balls." I cry when I see others cry, not even knowing why they are crying. I cry when I hear a sad story, and of others hardships sometimes, I reflect back in my life, and cry. Does this make me less a man or more--who knows? In my day and age and even as a boy, we were thought not to cry. Yes, In my life I cried because I was away from my parents, I cried at times because I was scared. Nothing makes me cry more then when I see an animal that is mistreated or has been abused. I am a crier. Like Glenn Beck, I do not feel less a man for doing so. Sometimes I wonder why there are not more men like me. Crying is good for the soul. Don't get me work, I am also a fighter, a damn good one. Have been a fighter all my life. No I don't pick fights--but I never have run from one. I grew up at a time, and in a time, that to survive, you had to fight. Fight to defend yourselve to defend others. In my heyday, I always stood up against the Bully whenever I Met one or saw one picking or just bulling on someone, because he could. The point is not that I cry, nor that I fight--what matters is doing whats right, for the occassion. Glenn, you make me feel better, evertime I see you cry--for I know you have feelings for others, other then self. In your case, you claimed to have been a failure and havent't we all. The differance--you are not afried to admit it and that's good. Keep up the good work, I am eighty years old, a self educated man of the great depression years--and crying as much as anything, has gotten me through a hard life, with my head held high. You are doing just that--holding your head high. THE NESSENGER
