Wow. The same thing is happening with me. I was contemplating Mother Teresa & Gandhi the other day & I started crying out of happiness. I was also programmed the same way & for many years I refused to cry. I thought crying was a sign of weakness (I was raised in a Chinese culture..so...) but heh
I am glad Rumi cried like this too.
