A little boy asks his mother why she cries. She says it's because she is a woman and he will never understand. When he grows up, he asks God why women cry so easily. God answers that when He created woman, He gave her the strength to bear the weight of the world with strong yet soft shoulders, the ability to give life and accept rejection from children, and the strength to go on when others give up and take care of her family despite hardship. God gave women tears so they can be shed whenever needed, and that a woman's beauty resides in her eyes and heart, often seen through her tears.
