Ok, men are allowed to cry. Most enlightened men know this. It’s ok.

When Odysseus was reunited after 20 years with his son Telemachus, they held each other and cried. And their cries sounded like the cries of birds of prey when their babies, too young to fly, are taken from the nest.
Holy cow. Homer knew his similes, man.
