Should one cry over spilled milk?

Question

Well?

Answer 1

They will if it spills on the grout of a tiled floor, you will never get it up. The grout absorbs it & after awhile it sours & stinks. This is where the saying came from.

Answer 2

On the one hand, the big picture consists of small parts. A small part changing changes the big picture. If a big picture changes, at least one part of it must change.

Crying over something has several meanings. You don't need to spend a lot of time thinking about there mere event of the milk getting spilled, but you could spend a thought or two over it, learning from it, trying to improve yourself to decrease the probability of spilling it in the future.

Answer 3

Cry over it??? Why? It's lost anyway. Guess you don't have to cry over spilled milk unless you're this incredibly mean person who will cry over the milk as it was your money that bought it. And if you're referring to the saying "Don't cry over spilled milk", it merely means "if it's over and done with, you can't affect it any more, so why worry? there's nothing that can be done." no amount of tears will bring the milk back into the glass. likewise, if you can't change something, why bother what-iffing?

In any case; it's not worth crying over the milk. It's already gone.

Answer 4

When someone says, "Don't cry over spilled milk", they just mean "don't make a big deal out of a small thing", it's just an expression, people don't really cry over spilled milk.

Answer 5

The "tragedic" quale of a given "accident of spilled milk" is minutely uniquely affective.

Therefore, each such occurance is a "one by one" import.

You ask the general case, which includes from zero to 100% affect.

The value of "crying" is "repentance, mourning."

"Know thyself" applies to each instance. This knowing is preparatory re use.

I.e., investing time and energy into "knowing Self" is worthwhile, in this wise: the depth, height, breadth, and kairos (important and transcending momenta) of one's being, being progressively more consciously known, thence enables one to make right choice per application of one's soulfield energies, vis a vis restitution, repair, and redress, per energization of e-motion, energy in motion, which affect is mobilized per a sense of Justice vis a vis the event configuration.

In non-technical, simple language: what the spilled milk costs you energizes your remorse, repentance, desire to come up higher, redo, and the like. You don't know what something costs you if you don't intimately, kindly, and clearly know yourself, your feelings, your hopes, plans, and desires.

In a more esoteric perspective, there are furher nuances brought to light re soulfield actions. Readings in "Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton, "Testimony of Light," Helen Greaves, "Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, Ph.D., "Life before Life," Jim Tucker, M.D., "Messages from Heaven," Patricia Kirmond, and even "Light Is a Living Spirit," Aivanhov and "The Masters and Their Retreats," Mark Prophet, provide such perspective.

Answer 6

Only if for some reason one needed or wanted it really badly.

Cats and dogs don't. They just lap it up where it spilled. Perhaps we should be more like them.

Answer 7

well it ain't gonna bring the milk back but a good cry never did anyone any harm.

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

No, you should use it as an excuse to mop the floor, it was overdue anyway.
