John Vance Cheney once said “the soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears”. Happiness and beauty is what brings one to be able to shed a smile across ones face. A dimple to show, eyes tighten and rejoice to arise. But though many might have bliss certain days there are many other days that many do not shed smiles but tears.
Whatever problems that occur in one’s life it doesn’t matter what it is, big or small. Serious or insignificant our eyes can’t help but to water, and let tears drip down our face as we tend to serenade and swim in our problems. Instead of involuntarily jumping out from that drowning pool and clean those tears and let them dry before more come and sweep by. The beauty of tears is that it can create more joy then what it seems to create; sadness. It could create a wonderful rainbow that we always tend to admire, colorful perfectly symmetrical but brought up from the rain that first hit the concrete floor. We as people seem to think that strength is what makes happiness grow inside us, and strength is the only reason happiness seep within us. But what exactly makes something so beautiful just appear into the sky or in fact inside us?
Our pain. Our suffering. Our tears. The reflection of our pain is what the rainbow displays, but in a way it’s a sense of release of all the pain and suffering that is within us, the pain and tribulations one went through may have caused a river of tears but brought the beauty of a rainbow to shine through and be seen through reflections of others pupils. A reflection of strength throughout those different tribulations we finally are able to let go, though tears itself may seem weak they are actually what makes us stronger inside, what makes new problems seem easier as the old problems were finally released by tears.
That’s why it is important to cry for once! To let yourself be human and not just be an emotionless rock. Even if one is alone shedding tears its better then to be alone held with emotions for deep down one knows it’s impossible to fight back and win the overall feelings of keeps insid, because that bottle we tend to have inside saving tears day by day will eventually break and leave an emotional outburst that just is too much to even handle all at once
So why let every tear pile and accumulate within us? If at the end of the day we could become a beautiful rainbow glimmering in the sunlight.
I think you are absolutely right! We should focus more on the positive and beautiful things in life rather than the negatives; life’s to short to worry about that stuff. Forgive and forget and move on. Your past is very well said and put! Couldn’t have said it better myself.
ReplyDeleteKelly! Good job I enjoyed reading your post. It is good to cry once in a while, its a way to relieve ourselves and let out all our pain. Holding it in just creates hate and even more pain. At the end the rainbow is there to let us know we will be alright. Being positive can bring out the best in us and lessen that pain inside of us.
ReplyDeleteKelly you used such great profound vocabulary that I completley enjoyed your interp. to the last period. My favorite line of your many original statements was the shedding of a "river of tears but [bringing] the beauty of a rainbow to shine through". I also agree that keeping things bottled in, will only create a heavier weight within our hearts. Overall very inspirational!:D
ReplyDeleteKelly I enjoyed your interpretation of that quote! Out of something bad we can always find something new to learn or appreciate. We all have trials and tribulations in our lives and like you saidit's okay to be human and shed a few tears because there is always a beautiful rainbow to follow.
