Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud. The kiss and the weeping are the emotional release of a man who has been traveling alone, afraid, carrying the weight of his own deception, and has now arrived at the right place and found the right person. The weeping is not sadness but the release of tension — the kind of tears that come when the journey that seemed impossible has arrived at its destination. The application: the relief and joy of arriving where you were meant to be produces the kind of emotion that cannot be managed or suppressed.
