Justify the comment '' Be strong before people, only weep before God'' with reference to the story 'Mother' by Judah Watern.
Answers
"Be strong before people, only weep before God" was very famous and influencing dialogue used by the narrator in the story 'Mother'.
The mother had a belief that God won't let any bad things come to her and that is the reason why she never let anyone how sad or disturbed she was.
She always believed that crying before people won't be of any help but only God will help her out of her sorrows and grief.
Her certain belief in God made her say these words which are very true even in the real world.
Crying before someone doesn't help you but it might happen that people will know about your weak point and you will become vulnerable.
"Be strong before people only weep before God" are the words of Judah Waten who firmly believed that there is no point crying in front of people.
The only thing that is going to keep you going is to firmly believe in yourself and the God.
She never expressed her sorrow in front of people , rather confided in God.
