Big boys don’t cry
All little boys want to be just like the big boys,
so if big boys are not suppose to cry
then little boys won’t want to cry either.
And if little and big boys don’t cry
then all grown up men won’t cry.
For all men are simply the result of their boyhood makeup.
And Oh! What a tearless, loveless and expressionless world it will be.
