倪匡-《哭與笑》
倔強的孩子在外面打架、游戲，吃了虧，受了損，一定咬緊牙關忍下來，不會在別人的面前流眼淚。但是當他回到家中，遇上自己的親人時，想起在外面的委屈，一定會哭得一把鼻涕一把眼淚。
倔強的成年人，也是一樣，不論受了什么樣的傷害，都善于掩飾自己的感情，眼淚只會往肚里吞，給人看的是毫不在乎的歡笑。然而，再倔強的人，一旦在自己的親人面前，可以肯定這個人對自己的情愛，毫無保留之際，一樣會哭，不但哭，而且會哭得十分傷心。
如果有人對你哭，而這個人平時又絕不是會哭的那種人，那么，就讓他對著你哭個痛快。因為在那個哭的人心中，你是他最親近的人。
有人能在你面前哭，比只有人在你面前笑好得多。笑，誰不會？哭，有多么困難！
When aPerson Weeps or Cries
Ni Kuang
A child plays away from home andfight with others. He’s defeated, gets hurt and suffers shame. If he (or she)is strong-willed, he would clench his teeth, making a firm grip on himself fromshedding tears in front of others. But as soon as he returns home he wouldburst out crying at the first sight of his close relatives. He would be all tearspouring out his sufferings.
The same is true for astrong-willed grown-up. No matter what harm he sufferers he would do his bestto disguise, trying not to reveal his feelings. He would swallow his bittertears and show a smiling face at others as if he doesn’t care a bit. Buthowever strong-willed he is, most probably he would cry as soon as he meets hisclose relative who loves him and to whom he can pour out his heartunreservedly. Not only he’d weep but he’d cry his eyes out in grief.
If somebody weeps in your face—theperson never of the type shedding tears in front of others, you’d better sit byand let him (or her) cry out to his heart’s content, for it shows you areregarded as his dearest or the most reliable one.
It’s much better to have someoneweeping in your face than be met exclusively by a smiling face.
Anyone can smile at you, but veryfew will weep in your face, because the latter is much harder for one to dothan the former.
