The Price of Tears

No man is worth your tears, and when you find the man who is, he'll never make you cry

I see this phrase around a lot and I've been thinking about it for days now, and I've finally decided to make a stand.

That phrase is shit. Really it is. Get over it.

There are 3 ways to feel about someone (for the most part) love, hate, indifference. Now from the sound of that, hate seems like the worst of the 3, but it's not. Indifference is. It takes more heart to hate someone, then to just feel indifferent about them. Like the people who claim they hate something, but still devote their time to listening, hating, writing letters of complaint.
The indifference is for the people you see every day, the driver of the Green Toyota that drives by you and does nothing to warrant a second glance. They didn't cut you off to feel your wrath, they weren't beautiful enough to earn your admiration, they were just there. The people who live and die daily, right under our noses, but because we are indifferent, their lives mean nothing to us.

But the people we love, those are the people who require all of our emotion. Not only our highs, but also our lows. Who didn't go through high school and at some time hated their parents, only to be successful 30 years down the road and completely love them having learned from their tough love and probably raised their children the same way.

As far as your boyfriend/girlfriend goes, no one is going to be perfect, so of course there is going to be some let down, but it's only from the lows that you experience the highs. You never want to hurt the person you care about, but it's going to happen, and the person who sheds tears for you, only does that, because they care so much about you. I'd be more concerned if they didn't.
