A Passage we’ll cite(Ashley Montagu’s book
The American Way of Life
, page 248)
To
be human is to weep. The human species is the
only one in the whole world of animate nature that
sheds tears. The trained inability of any human being
to weep is a lessening of his capacity to be human – a
defect that usually goes deeper than the mere inability
to cry. And this, among other things, is what American
parents – with the best intentions in the world – have
achieved for the American male. It is very sad. If we
feel like it, let us all have a good cry – and clear our
minds of those cobwebs of confusion, which have
for so long prevented us from understanding the
ineluctable necessity of crying
