Tears or temper?  It probably depends on your sex.  Women tend to cry; men tend to lose their temper.  It's one of the basic differences between the sexes, but in both cases, it is a manifestation of emotions that are deeply rooted within you.  Both tears and temper have their place in life.  A gentle river brings refreshing water to parched land and thirsty people, but out of control, an angry river becomes a rampaging flood producing death and destruction.
