Human beings function from choice.
We can choose to stuff things, or we can choose to let go of things.

If we choose to stuff things, then we will feel a heaviness, or sorrow, self-pity or fear.
Sometimes we feel the need to cry. Sometimes we are taught it is not okay to cry.

The creator designed the human being to cry. Crying is a release. This release allows us to let go of thoughts that are not helping us so we can open to new thoughts that will help.
