Is he weeping?" said the one with the softest heart.

About This Quote

The question is often asked of the person who is crying, "Why are you crying?" The answer is not always an easy one. The soft-hearted person may be grieving because of some terrible tragedy that has just occurred, or he may be simply overcome with emotion and unable to control his tears. But whichever the case, it's important for the person who is capable of seeing through the tears and to tell the heartbroken individual that he knows why he is weeping.
