Why is it that crying in front of others is seen as a weakness?

I really don't understand. It's something all humans do, yet we tell others that it's a shameful or weak thing to do it. Ironically, most of the strongest people I've ever know I have seen cry at least once.

Crying isn't a weakness. It's a sign that you are experiencing pain and loss in your life. The only weakness there is, are those individuals who taunt you for having real emotions.
