Resons to Cry in Public

    At the bus stop I read a poster entitled Reasons to Cry In Public. It listed 30 reasons, all very sound. But it got me to thinking about more. Surely 30 is only a beginning number. I could add a few.
    Being attacked by hornets.
    Contemplating a Christmas without your brother--Mr. Christmas himself--for the first time in your life.
    Being told your mother's kidneys are only 13% functioning.
    Hearing that 3 family members were just killed by a bomb in your homeland.
    Seeing another homeless woman get on the bus with dirty clothes and all her earthly possessions in her hands.
    Watching a child being yelled at and being called names, like stupid, by temperamental, impatient parents.
    Listening to a man tell about losing both his loving parents in the same year.
    Hearing that your friend's wife lost the baby.
    Learning that the damage to your house from the earthquake will cost more than you make in a year.
    Living from paycheck to paycheck and being told that your company is downsizing and your position has been eliminated.

    I'm confident there are many more.
