About This Quote
Sadness can be a powerful force for good. It can motivate us toward greater compassion and empathy, and it can help us take action against our worst impulses. However, it’s easy to overdo it. People who are prone to anger or who are anxious are often advised to learn how to express their feelings in healthy ways.
But this is often easier said than done, especially for those whose emotions are not as easily triggered. The idea of “crying with a pure heart” is an interesting one. It’s hard to imagine crying with no trace of anger or sadness.
So, what does it mean exactly? For many people, “crying with a pure heart” means crying without any emotional interference. If you take this advice literally, that means you should be able to cry without any trace of sadness or anger—no matter how intense the situation is or how much it hurts. This seems like a tall order!
