evaluating that what you are doing is good or bad. So whatsoever is spontaneous is spontaneous. Whatsoever is, is. So if you are crying, you are crying. Why should they react? You are not doing anything to them -- you are simply crying. It is your freedom! It is your birthright to cry.
But the conditioning is in the mind. From the very beginning one has been taught, 'Don't do this -- do this! What will others think? Always think of others; always consider what others will think.
