"Si no has llorado tus ojos no pueden ser hermosos"

The essence of this quote is that true beauty comes from experiencing and expressing deep emotions. These aren't just surface-level feelings, but the kind that might bring you to tears. It suggests there's a depth and authenticity to people who have faced hardships and have been vulnerable enough to cry.

Historically or personally, this quote resonates with the idea that human experiences, especially the tough ones, shape who we are. It’s like the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold. The cracks and repairs make the piece more beautiful. Similarly, our own "cracks" from life’s challenges and our responses to them—our tears—add a certain beauty to us.

Think about a time when you were overwhelmed with emotion. Maybe it was losing a loved one or even a breakup that left you in pieces. During these moments, crying is a natural release. It's raw, unfiltered, and real. Let's take a real-life example: Princess Diana. She was known for her compassion and empathy, often showing her emotions in public. Remember the time she shook hands with an AIDS patient? It was a simple act, but the tears she shed and her genuine concern made her beloved by many. Her willingness to show vulnerability made her more beautiful in the eyes of the public.

Applying this wisdom in your own life means embracing your emotions instead of hiding them. It’s okay to cry. When you let yourself feel and express these emotions, you become more in touch with yourself and more relatable to others. It’s about breaking down those walls we often build to protect ourselves. Next time you're feeling overwhelmed, don't bottle it up. Let your emotions flow. Have a good cry if you need to. You'll find that it's not just about feeling better, but also about being more authentic and connected to your true self.

Imagine a scenario: you’ve had a rough week at work. Deadlines are piling up, a project isn't going as planned, and you got some tough feedback from your boss. Instead of toughing it out with a stiff upper lip, you decide to talk to a close friend. Over a cup of coffee, you vent, you cry, you laugh. That release helps you see things more clearly. Your friend doesn't think any less of you—if anything, they appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. They might share their own struggles too, deepening your bond. In the end, your eyes—in that moment of vulnerability and release—are truly beautiful because they're the windows to your soul’s resilience and authenticity.

So next time life throws you a curveball, and you feel those tears welling up, don’t hold back. There’s a unique beauty in that vulnerability, a beauty that can connect and inspire those around you. And remember, it’s not just about the tears themselves, but what they represent: your journey, your strength, and your humanity. That’s what makes you truly beautiful.
