The tear has a great value when it makes us live like Hussein, fight like Hussein for the truth and sacrifice and die like Hussein for the removal of falsehood from all the spheres of life. Imam Hussein (a.s) has said, "I am the one who will be killed in a manner that tears will be shed upon me and my remembrance will not but awaken the conscience and impart lessons."
