I don’t know I think humans are deeply complex and trying to make things back and white doesn’t work. Though in general I do think humans are conditioned to “fix” tears. At least in the USA. Even if a person doesn’t mean to be insensitive they want to stop the tears.

I think that's what annoys me most about it. People want to "fix" and "stop" the tears, but the underlying cause is still there. They can't see it, so they don't care about it and deny it exists. Just because the person shuts up and stops crying, it doesn't mean they no longer have the problem or situation they were crying about. But nobody cares about the problem or situation they were crying about. They only care that the crying stopped.
