Tears are okay by me
I think holding back all your emotions is unhealthy.

Obviously,
It has to happen otherwise it could suffocate you.
I used to be so strict about tears, even prided myself on not crying for a long time... I guess that's because I've been taught crying is a weakness and should definitely not happen easily, specially not, god forbid, in public.
As an adult, I cried a couple times in public, I was mortified. But then I learnt that it was okay, it is not your fault you can't stop them, sometimes it is the depression talking... and whoever judges you or comments negatively is a jerk.
So yeah, tears clean the heart and soul, and one should not feel forced to repress them.
