“People cry not because they’re weak, it’s because they’ve been strong for too long.”

Johnny Depp

Simplified Meaning:

When people shed tears, it's not a sign that they lack strength or are fragile. Instead, it often means they've been dealing with tough situations or pressures for a long time without getting relief. Just like a rubber band can stretch only so much before it snaps, people can handle stress and challenges only for so long before they need an emotional release. Crying is a natural way to let out built-up feelings. For example, think of a student working hard every day under lots of pressure from school and family. If they eventually break down and cry, it's not because they're weak. It’s because they’ve been handling a lot on their own, showing strength for a long time. To apply this idea in life, remember it's okay to express emotions and seek support instead of trying to be tough all the time. It can help you stay healthy and strong in the long run.
