[The following is mostly a personal assessment about tears]

There was something strange about tears...  It is a great sign of emotion, but the interesting thing is that it is normally...at least in the manner of which I was raised with...to be seen as more of a weakness, or a feminine thing that only girls do.  It's strange, though, because the word "tear" can have two different meanings, and even if either definition is applied in scripture, it can almost still have the same effect.  To cry tears, and then to tear in removal and exposure.

I am not sure if this would be the same in Hebrew, in its original form.

Now, the strange thing about tears is that they can be from grief, sorrow, or any sorts of emotional pain, but at the same time, can also be of joy, extreme emotions...  Different people can have different methods of expressing emotion, and perhaps there are different barriers or thresholds for different people for which tears may start coming.  Those thresholds are there for a purpose, and...perhaps people do not have complete control over those things.  We are creations...so...there is definitely a reason why one person will cry over more sensitive things, while it may take more for another to have tears.  Sensitivity to emotion seems to be a large factor.

It is interesting that tears are...saline...according to a couple sources.  Salt and water...  And that they come from the eyes, and serve more than one purpose, that being, to help keep the eyes moist, and a physical expression of emotion at certain levels that it is felt in each person based on how they were individually created.

Perhaps it is always best to come to a better understanding of different expressions and such in different people.  That way, an incorrect assessment of a person's expressions would not be exacted.

Hmm...  In scripture, a search for the word "cry."  Interesting that a cry is not only in sadness, or maybe joy, but there is even a battle cry.

Psalm 56:8.  Interesting that Father has a bottle.  Interesting that Father records them.  Yet, interesting as well that these tears may not be just emotion from one side, but another.  Interestingly enough, though, they are all recorded.

In one's own having been created, also remembering this lesson: Romans 9:20 -- But who are you —anyone who talks back to God? Will what is formed say to the one who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"

Father gives Free Will, and with that, many gifts for which one can do with their own being.  To properly utilize the expression of tears is a great gift, indeed.  To also be able to understand them as a part of Creation, is also Father's gift.  And the Wisdom for each part of Creation, a gift of Father's own self, as well.
