If you become wiser, it strengthens you. Wisdom keeps you from becoming afraid, prevents you from injuring yourself, it stops you before you make bad decisions... and for all these reasons, and more, you are happier :)

I cry all the time. The reasons for it, as I've grown have changed. No longer crying for my mommy, no longer because I have fallen and scraped a knee, no longer because some boy broke my heart... now, most of the time, the tears that come are tears of joy...
