All feelings serve a purpose and exist to be felt. The beauty of sadness is when you embrace it and feel it then it dissipates leaving room for new feelings to emerge with a heart that is more open. With time even water can soften a rock and make a lasting imprint on it. Teaching children not to cry or feel their emotions at a young age is a great dis-service to them, their future companions and the world in general.
