I think it can be either/or.
If can show weakness if somebody cries cuz somebody punched him in the back and he can't take it.
It can also show strength if I cry because my team just won the championship and I'm glad all my hard work paid off. And it could also show strength instead of weakness like i said before if someone got punched in the back, but they took it like a soldier and kept on doing what they were doing, but they're body just made them cry because of the pain. But they still kept playing/fighting or whatever.
It depends on how it happens.
tears show passion, and passion can be a strength or a weakness... but either way, its more than likely going to be an extreme of one of the two.
for example: your significant other doesnt take your opinions seriously and your frustration brings you to tears... this can be a strength because u have that fire burning inside you that will drive you to make them listen to you no matter what
Tears show a symbol of strength to me.... i think it shows that people are human... just b/c a person cries b/c of hard work or shows compassion or feeling... it shows they're not a wuss or punk, just shows that they are human...
um yeah it's as simple as this....tears show weakness or strength depening on the situation...i won't give any examples because i just don't want to...
man i hated in college when people asked silly questions just to spark up a debate and epople would get so into it and junk...
