It’s normal to have a bit of fear because when we allow tears to flow, we are actually allowing the feeling of pain to wash over our souls. But don’t be ‘too’ afraid, so afraid that you don’t allow yourself to cry. Just like getting a shot, generally, we don’t really like getting shots, but sometimes, shots are necessary.
If we could add a ‘developer’ to the everyday negative energy, we might discover that we are covered in colourful blotches and stains. Some negative energies are not very invasive; a simple wipe removes them, or they never really attach to you in the first place. Some you can get rid of with good food, playing video games, shopping, exercising, and so on. Some of them go deep into your belly and need to be vomited out. But there are some that stubbornly cling to you like shadows, and you vaguely know they’re there, but you can’t shake them off.
My dear, because you didn’t use the right ‘cleanser.’
Tears.
These are meant to cleanse the soul.
Crying in pain, a thorough cleansing, isn’t scary.
Maybe you think you’re very rational and won’t cry. Well, do you take a bath? Do you brush your teeth? Yes, because you know that skin flakes mix with dust and sweat, causing dirt and making your body smell bad. You know that bacteria grow on tooth enamel after eating, slowly eroding the enamel. Human habits of bathing and brushing teeth are ‘very rational’ practices. But when it comes to cleansing the soul, why do you label it as ‘irrational’? To put it simply, you’re not being rational; you’re afraid. You’re not familiar with your own heart, so you’re scared.
It’s normal to be afraid, but don’t be ‘too’ afraid. Just like when a child is about to vomit, they might get a little panicked, but the mother pats their back and says, ‘Don’t be afraid, vomit, vomit, you’ll feel better after.’
I am already a grown-up. I am so experienced. What am I crying for? Precisely because you’re adults, you have good life experiences, you cry because you must have a reason to cry, right? Are you crying just to throw a tantrum? No. Tears will tell you where the really important things are.

不用太害怕流眼淚
有點怕是正常的，因為讓眼淚流下的時候，我們其實是容許疼痛的感覺漫過心靈。但不用「太」害怕，怕到不容許自己哭。正如打針，一般而言我們都不會很喜歡打針，但有些時候，針是有需要打的。
如果能為日常的負能量添加「顯影劑」，可能我們會發現自己滿身都是一撻一撻五顏六色的。有些負能量侵蝕力不強，抹一抹便消除了，甚至從一開始便附不了你的身。有一些，你可以用美食、打機、逛街、做運動等等方法除掉。有一些，跑到肚子裡了，需要傾吐。可是有一些，硬是在某處像影一樣附著你，你隱約知道牠的存在，但又無法甩掉。
傻孩子，因為你沒有用上正確的「清潔劑」。
眼淚。
這是用來清洗心靈的。
痛痛的哭，徹骨的洗滌，不可怕。
也許你覺得自己很理性，不會哭。那，你會洗澡嗎？會刷牙嗎？會，因為你知道皮膚屑會混和塵埃和汗水，造成污垢，會令身體發臭。你知道進食後細菌會在牙菌膜滋生，最後會慢慢侵蝕珐瑯質。人類建立了洗澡和刷牙的習慣，是「非常理性」的做法。但為何說到清洗心靈，你就標籤為「非理性 」呢？說穿了，你不是理性 ，你是害怕。你不熟悉自己的心，所以你怕。
害怕也很正常，但不用「太」害怕。像小兒嘔吐，難免有點慌張，媽媽就掃孩子的背，說，不用怕，嘔吧，嘔吧，嘔出來就舒服了。
大人大姐，好人好姐，哭什麼？正因為你大人大姐，好人好姐，你哭，就一定因為你有需要哭吧，難道為了耍小脾氣嗎？有需要而強忍，就傻啦。
